This morning Lollipop had a little tumble when stepping down from the bathroom step stool. This afternoon we saw the doc. I am praising the Lord for no new fractures!!! (and not having to go to the ER or a quick clinic or the pediatrician) There is an "irregular" spot at her knee that we will watch the next couple of days, but for today NO CAST!
Their is a lot of back story between the accident and seeing the doc- many phone calls, hard to work with office staff, anxiousness, dread. God has proved faithful though and we are now kind of in with a new ortho, another long story. Rejoicing over friends, faithfulness and mercy.
This morning after Lollipop's tumble and all the ensuing drama, I had a moment of why did we do this? There's easier ways to live, our life was busy enough already... As I stepped out of the doc's office carrying L, the love of God surrounded me and encouraged me that this was HIS plan. (or maybe it was just the heat! lol! :)) He has a purpose in me running to town for x-rays with every tumble. He has a healing for her and strength for me. Now the week overdue grocery shop may not get done tonight, though it desperately needs to happen, but HE is still God and Provider and Sustainer.
Soon after our arrival home we were greeted with a phone call concerning the last of the tests from Children's. Her skeletal survey is consistent with OI and does not show rickets or another metabolic disorder. I am planning on keeping the Endo appointment, but one more piece of the puzzle has been added. The doc at Shriner's will hopefully get this info today and then maybe he might be willing to do treatments other than diet????
But for now, I will focus on the good news of no new fractures and maybe being one step closer to knowing what exactly is wrong.
