Up date on Aiden.

Well where to start... Aiden saw his pediatrician on Thursday for a check up. His Inflammation rate was up. When he was in the Hospital it was 35, when they checked it on Thursday it was up to 75. A normal rate for his age is 1o. Basically what that means is that he has an inflammation some where in his body. We already knew that. however the raised inflammation rate bothered his Pediatrician, so she sent him to see a specialist, I did not know what kind of specialist until after his appointment. Which I am actually happy I didn't know until after it was all over. He went to see a Pediatric Oncologist, which for those who don't know is a cancer doctor. After his appointment there he also saw a ENT doctor. The first one wanted to biopsy his lymph nodes, but after the ENT doctor visit, He felt that it was too early for that and said it is not unusual for kids to have swollen glands along with an infection whither it was tonsillitis, ear infection, viral or bacterial, since Aiden had tested positive for Mono he thought that the mono was more likely the cause of his swollen lymph nodes and thought that they should give his body more time to heal. So that's what they are doing. April said that he seems to be feeling OK. So for now another scare averted. I'm sure he will be watched carefully by Mom Dad and Doctors.

For those of you that don't know, I will be going to GF on Monday the 21st. to have my rt wrist operated on for carpel tunnel. It was diagnosed back in July and we were waiting and dealing with it by using braces at night. About a week and a half ago I felt a strange electrical sensation in the palm of my hand and since then my fingers have been numb. My first thought was it was my MS acting up, but I haven't had any problems there for 5-6 years, then I remembered that those are the same fingers the are affected with the carpel tunnel so I called Dr. Clayburgh's office and they agreed, that was most likely the problem and we decided to do the surgery. I was surprised that I could get it done so fast, but this way I don't have to think about it for very long. It is a same day surgery and they will just be putting a bandaid on it when it's done, so it doesn't sound too bad. Well that's my up date... until next time.
