Scary Night

So last night was pretty scary in our house. We don't have any definitive answers and are kind of in a wait and see pattern for now. Dante started complaining of leg/knee pain yesterday, and woke up in the middle of the night pretty upset and unable to sleep. For some children, this may appear normal (things always seem worse at night) but Dante rarely complains about anything and usually takes his bumps and bruises better than the rest. He also has a healthy fear of hospitals, so when this almost 5 year old begs to go to the hospital at 1am, you take him. To make a long story a little shorter, the doctor examined him, did a bunch of xrays and didn't see anything alarming. HOWEVER, my older brother had Legg Calve Perthese Disease when he was 7, which manifests itself as knee pain alot of times, and usually doesn't show up on initial xrays. SOOOO we are waiting, and hoping that these are just growing pains. But prayers can't hurt!
