Maureen woke up this morning with a pain in her hip. I was not concerned at first, but when she was still lying on the couch at 1:30, it seemed time to call the pediatrician.
He could not understand what was wrong. She hasn't been sick, hasn't had an injury, and has no bruise--yet she is in serious pain, not even wanting to stand up.
The doctor ordered xrays and bloodwork. The xrays came back negative, and we haven't heard news about the bloodwork.
Needless to say, I am jittery.
Would you please keep Maureen in your prayers tonight?
I certainly will, Alice.

Oh no. I will keep you in my thoughts, all of you. Perhaps she has pinched a nerve. Please let us know as soon as you have an update.

Oh, Alice, I'm just seeing this -- I'll be praying for Maureen (and peace of mind for you, too!) and that the docs quickly figure out what is wrong....
Hugs coming your way!

Many prayers for Maureen. I will add her to Our Lady of Altagracia novena.

I am praying, of course.
The same thing happened to the Boy when he was 3 and he had viral arthritis, which I'd never even heard of - but it's surprisingly common, easily treated and went away with no lasting damage.
