My Daughter is very sick.

[Mark42]

Monday this week my daughter Amber (8 yrs old) started complaining about pain in her left heel. Tuesday wife wrote a note to school to keep her out of gym. Wednesday she could not walk, and wife took her to family doctor. He didn't find anything wrong, assumed she injured her tendon, put a wrap on it and sent her home. Wednesday night she is complaining of the pain. Thursday she stays home and goes back to doctor, her heel is now swollen a little. Doc give antibiotic, codine pain killer and sends her to orthopedic specialist at local hospital. Orhtopedic takes x-rays, finds nothing wrong, now Amber is crying all the time from the pain. Doc wraps up her whole leg and sends her off to another hospital that has an entire childrens wing. Today wife brings Amber to the childrens hospital, gets blood tests, finds out she has infection, probably in the bone of her heel. She is in extreme pain, screaming all the time and has a fever. Takes 3 adults to hold her down to put in IV. Gets put on morphine and antibiotic. Now resting. Wife will stay at hospital tonight. More blood tests are being done, might need an MRI.

I told the doctor about the epoxy and glass work I am doing incase it could be related, and he said no. She would have chemical burn marks like I have on my wrist from epoxy exposre, and not puncture or sign of glass splinters, etc.

I am worried that it is something more than just an infection. And why would an 8 year old girl get an infection in the bone of her heel?

We are worried.

Sorry to hear about that Mark. All the best and hopefully it turns out to be something relatively minor. Try not to worry too much, the odds of it being anything too serious may not be that high.
Hang in there.

Re: My Daughter is very sick.

Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers. This is the first time one of my kids has had to be hospitalized, and it really hits us hard. God willing, everything will turn out fine.

Re: My Daughter is very sick.

I can't imagine any hurt worse than when my child is in pain and I feel so helpless, Mark. My heart cries for you.

I don't believe in divine intervention, but I do believe in the power of love to comfort and to heal. Give her all you have. . .you cannot run out.

I don't know if it is worth anything, but you have my most intense wishes for a prompt and happy outcome.

We'll be praying for Amber tonight and will continue for as long as needed. Take care of her and we'll cover the rest.

Hope she feels better soon, Mark
When my daughter was young she went through something similar
They said she had Connective Tissue Disorder
It came and went and whatever it was, she outgrew it
Hope you're as lucky

Sorry to hear Mark.
No marks on her heel?
Could it be a bone spur?

Mark:

I will be praying for your daughter. I do believe in the power of divine intervention. I also believe in good medical attention. Sounds like you will have both.

No pain hurts more than your child's. Hopefully we'll both be lucky and only experience it once. My best for a speedy, full recovery.
