FYI
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers that went out Isaac's way...and Tracey, don't feel bad for spelling his name wrong - how many times have we spelled your name wrong?
For those parents out there that don't want to deal with this whole bone infection thing...
Apparently children get it often, usually following some type of bone trauma, but sometimes from any bacteria that sneaks in through a scratch or cut. When the doctor asked me if Isaac had any cuts or scratches on his legs, I had to laugh. He's 11, of course he does. Countless. Anyway - that is likely the source. Kids are more prone to the infection because their bones are more porous and highly vascular - especially long bones that are growing - like his femur. It's just really important that any cuts or scratches are cleaned out. I think Isaac will be much better at this now.
The doctor called today - they were able to culture some bacteria and will likely know exactly what type tomorrow. In the meantime, Isaac takes 6 pills a day for long while. He will go back to school and soccer tomorrow...
Wicked was awesome. Hanging out with Marnie, for the short time we saw her, was awesome. All of you are awesome. Seeing Kim next week will be awesome. Later, all.
