I forgot to write about this last week. My baby woke up last Tuesday unable to put any weight on her left leg. It was freaky! I thought that maybe it was asleep and she was feeling pins and needles as it woke up, but after an hour and a half, she still hurt. "Ow-eee! Ow-eee!" My poor girl!
So, off we go to the ER at Children's Hospital. 9:15 - 2:15 and it's a common childhood ailment called Toxic Synovitis. It's inflammation of the fluid around the hip joint due to a virus - like a cold or flu. It makes the kids' knees hurt. So - treat with ibuprofen and rest. 5-7 days for recovery.
My kid - good as new on Wednesday. Love that cutie-pie!
