waiting

Friday is the big day. And, until then, we wait....and do what we can for Mia to ease her pain and make her most happy - resting on the couch, keeping knee elevated, wrapping her warm rice sock around her knee, warm baths, etc.

Today, she woke up late, complaining of pain in her left knee. Today was the first day since she started Kindergarten that we had to drive her to school and pick her up because she could not ride the bus. Luckily, she did not have gym class today. It was Library Day. The school nurse greeted her when we got there, encouraged Mia and then spoke to me on the side (she said she could see her swollen knee even through her pants).

Mia made it through the day. But, when she got home tonight, she was complaining of pain, again. By this evening, her knee looked like this:

We are taking each day as it comes right now, trying everything we can think of until we make it to Friday where she will receive ultimate relief. The last time she had her knee drained and steroid injecion she was 3 years-old, the next day she was like a different child. We are believing for the same positive response towards the medicine like she had last time.

Thank you for standing with us and agreeing with us during the challenging, temporary season in our girl's life.
