Thanks, Desirae.

Everyone --

She's still trying to manage. she had a couple of good days then moved wrong and BOOM. This time I was right beside her and we worked/breathed through it with my rubbing her head and coo'ing at her. When your child is in that much pain, they're a baby no matter their age.

We didn't have to go to the hospital this time. I got her to focus on a playstation game and she was able to bring it back down with no hospital! I think they steroids are working some too.

We have to call and get in with family doctor today because she's going to need more meds and they highly suggested an MRI to see what else might be going on there (they suspect more).

From there we might have therapy, pain management, etc. We talked last night about the "long haul" and she cried because it's already been too long for her...right around three weeks now.

She's so young and I feel so bad for her pain. She thanked me for talking her down and said had she been at her apt. she couldn't have done it alone and we would've been back out to the hosp.

I'm very worried about her anxiety/depression with this. When we go to the dr. I'm going to discuss it.

Thanks again so much,

KD
