I would rather be in the woods than in the city.Today the middle one sees a specialist about her wonky knee. The joint has been swollen since the spring, with no physical problems showing up on MRI or xray, and no pain. She is nervous about having it drained. This morning we have already had tears and words. "I can't promise you, they won't drain it," was my exasperated reply. It's Children's, they should know how to handle the nervous child and the stressed mom. After all I have know their suspicions for months now, and hopefully today we will rule them out.

it's a long shot, but be sure they test for Lyme. my son had an unexplained swollen knee, no injury, it lasted for months, then the pediatrician figured out it was Lyme. he got all better.
good luck middle one! & mama too. I hope it all ends well :-\
Not Lyme, already tested for that -- twice and came back negative, twice.
It's not Lupus, thank God, (that was the big fear).
It's a wonky knee, and will require draining and meds.
Hope that everything works out for her. We'll be thinking of her.
My husband Ron works on 6 East if you need anything at Children's.
Thanks Kris -- Yesterday's big hoop was the traffic between home and Mr Valet. I was thinking a helicopter license would be in order.
