New year ...New Obstacles!

Well yes it has been a few months since I have been able to blog...things have been crazy busy with doctors appointments...

Cayden is such a sweet boy with a heart of gold .... Last visit to the Ortho landed Cayden in a CT scan of his lower back due to severe pain...after months of nagging got me nowhere.

One morning when I woke Cayden up for school he started complaining his side hurting.....so I decided that he better go to the doc because I always think the worst and pray for the best..so as I am getting him showered ..he drops down in pain at the bottom of the tub. So instead of waiting until 9 am to take him to his primary care physician I end up taking him to the ER...

We got to the ER and back in a room...by this time he was still in pain, but it was easing up. The nurse came into the room to take the vitals and get everything ready for the doctor to see him...the whole time the nurse was in there he was telling Cayden how he believed Cayden was faking just to get out of school...and was going on and on about how he didn't believe Cayden was in pain...so after a few mins of this I very bluntly kicked that nurse out of the room. I am his mother... I know my child and I believed he was in pain! ... if he was "faking" he was going to win an emmy and make millions with an acting career. The doctor finally came in and immediately began to talk about Cayden's pain being appendicitis...after a brief in shock moment I urged the doctor for a CT. .. 

The CT was terrible...the initial pain and then the needles on top of the pain..but thank god it showed the appendix weren't inflamed...however it did show an undesceneded testicle on the right side...REALLY? as many procedures and well child checks that he has had this is just now an issue? ...

Well after a month of waiting he finally gets into a Urologist who says surgery! April 22nd Cayden goes into surgery to bring and tack down the testicle....

Surgery goes well and he is now on the road of recovery once again.... he is still in and out of pain and still undergoing tests to determine where the pain is stemming from in his side...he is still in and out of the wheelchair and still in a lot of pain with the hip...


Sometimes I feel if the doctor would listen to the parent who spends an extensive amount of time with the child most of the medical issues that go undetected for several months or weeks would be caught a whole lot sooner...
