A little worried about Gideon....

Gideon has been saying for a week or two now that his throat/shoulder hurt. It has been weird because he has been complaining about his throat hurting but usually it is when he is suppose to be eating something he doesn't like. It has gotten confusing as to wether it is his throat or his shoulder that is the problem. Ryan was asking him the other day and he couldn't really pin point things. Yesterday though, our neighbor pick him up and he started crying saying she hurt his shoulder. So, I stripped him down and gave him a thorough look over. He pinpointed his pain to his shoulder and I was looking, I noticed a good sized knot on his clavicle bone. Leah broke her clavicle during birth and it felt similar to that, but bigger.

I got him in to the doctor that day. The doctor looked at his throat and his shoulder. He felt pretty sure that Gideon at some point had broke his collarbone and the nodule we were feeling was the break trying to heal. He said it was not uncommon in little boys. He wanted an xray to be sure. Well, I got a call this morning from the nurse saying that they saw no break in the bone but they did see a thickening/spot of concern. The questionable spot accompanied by Gee's pain and babying of his arm led our Dr. to send him to a bone specialist.

Gee's appointment was suppose to be today but it had to be moved to tomorrow at 2:40 in Marysville. The Dr. doesn't seem concerned that it is something like cancer related or anything (that was a relief for me to hear), but there is something weird going on and it needs to be figured out. I think our biggest concern at this point would be some sort of bone disease or something although I know that anything is possible. Please say a little prayer for my boy. Hopefully we will get there and the Dr. will be unconcerned and that will be that. That is what I am praying for.
