We followed up with Mallory’s regular doctor today (well, Rick did; I had the day scheduled off already to take my mom to a doctor’s appointment). Mal’s doc forwarded Rick & Mallory to the pediatric orthopedic people at the hospital, who in turn forwarded them off to pediatric radiology (where I finally met up with them). Mallory got some more ultrasounds done on her hips and those came back normal again. Was sort of scary because she hadn’t eaten since before her first appointment at 9a and when I asked about giving her a bottle at noon, someone said not to in case they send her to the OR. Huh??? So the no bad news from the ultrasound was sort of good I guess.
After the ultrasound, I talked to the doctor and our options were to go ahead and admit her and let them monitor her pain and hydrate her or we could take her home and do the same thing. Since she is sleeping well and the Tylenol/Motrin seems to help her, we chose to come home and we’ll go back at the doctor at 8a on Thursday morning.
So I guess we don’t have any more answers than we did yesterday morning at 4a when we left the ER. This stinks.
