Adam's ER Visit

This is Sunday Evening, on Thursday Adam had started complaining of knee pain. We would give him Ibuproffen and by Sunday, he was really uncomfortable. A friend of the family who is familiar with bones, ultrasound etc. told us that she felt that we needed to have him checked out. After x-rays they determined that his diagnosis was "Osgood-Schlatter" which is where the tendons detatch from the tibia and sometimes take "pieces" of the bone with it. His x-ray showed a piece of bone that had chipped off. Knee brace, ib/tylenol and ice are the remedies for now. Poor Matthew just laid on the floor and slept the whole time. I don't know if the doctor even noticed that he was there.
