Growing Pains

Where is Kirk Cameron and Alan Thicke when you need them?

We could use some prayers. I'm sure this is only a precaution and that Hot Rod is only experiencing
growing pains, but we have to be sure. He has been complaining of almost constant leg pain for a few
months. We've attributed it to growing pains and/or those times when he doesn't want to take the trash out. But, it has been pretty severe and I finaly asked him if he wanted to see the doctor and he did. So, that tells
me it is really hurting.

We went this morning and the doctor said because the pain is in both legs and is not tender to the touch
and is all day and night that we needed to do a CBC and sed rate to rule out anything in his bone marrow. *sigh* Sometimes I wish I knew less about cancer and leukemia than I do. Unfortunately, he has consistent symptoms with leukemia and I'm a basket case. It could be juvenile arthritis, which I suffered from as a
child and sucked some major ass. But, it is tolerable.

Anyway, we will know about the leukemia facet of things in the next couple of hours. In the meantime,
I beg for your prayers.

UPDATE: Just got back the results - normal and doc said to call back in two weeks and we'd see about going to an orthopedist or something at that point. He thinks maybe it is just abnormal growing pains!!!! Thanks for all of your prayers!
