uggg...... when are we going to have a "sick" free house?!?

First Ryder comes down with strep throat last week.
Tuesday Sonora goes back to the podiatrist
because her broken toe, that I thought was getting
better was hurting again, and two of her
other toes were all red an swollen
he put her on an antibiotic and wanted
to see her in two weeks.
Well she kept complaining that her feet hurt all week
and now her tummy was hurting too!
I called up the doc and went back yesterday
turns out that now she has swelling and redness
on multiple toes and the sides of her feet.
This stumps the doc.
he take her off the antibiotics and puts
her on anti- inflammatory wants to do some research
and talk with another doc and
will call us in the morning

So this is after the school called and said Sonora
had a fever and needed to be pick up.
I thought maybe she was coming down with
Strep throat, which is what Ryder just had last week.
I kept her home today since she still had a fever
The doc called and said he wants
to have some blood work done today
to try and figure out whats going on.
Later this afternoon, after she bugged me all
day to go to the regular doctor about her
throat and tummy hurting, I get her in at 4:45
and she is the last one there and 2 doctors
were trying to figure out what was going on with her.
they tested her for Strep, the Flu and Mono,
all came back negative.
They sent a second strep test to the lab just in case.
They want her back tomorrow to run more tests.
The foot doc thinks it might be rheumatoid arthritis
which stinks for her if it is.
I guess I will just have to pray and hope for the best.
Oh, and they really didn't say much about her tummy,
except it may be the medicine that is upsetting it.

Poor Sonora! I wonder if it's all related, you'll have to keep us updated on what the doctors come up with. Hope she's feeling better soon!

That stinks. Poor Sonora. We get strep so much at our house. Sierra has had it 5 times in one year! It's crazy.
Hope they feel better:(
