Jace's Hospital Stay

 Jace crashed on his bike a few days ago.  He walked away from it like nothing was wrong so well... we didn't think anything of it.  Over the period of two days he started to limp and complain that his leg hurt.  By the end of the 2nd day he was hysterical and couldn't walk and was miserable.  There was no swelling or anything so we figured it was maybe a broken bone from crashing his bike.    As the night went on Jace became worse and we couldn't calm him down and we figured it was time to run to the ER.    X-Ray after X-ray they all came out alright.  No fractures or anything.  So they admitted him so they could do blood work and do a possible MRI. 

 Blood work you ask? Well they though Jace's leg pain was leukimia. I was at home with Dayton and Rhett when they started to draw blood. Jason was just worried sick. He said he prayed and prayed and he might have cried just a little bit. Could your life be changed by just blood work? Yes, yes it can. Did our lives change by the outcome of the blood work? nope it didn't and it was the best news of our entire hospital stay. Jace didn't have an infection in his bones and we couldn't be happier. 


After blood work was done they still didn't know what was wrong with Jace. They wanted to do an MRI but they decided against it. To do the MRI they was going to have to put Jace under and no matter the results of the MRI the only thing they could tell us to do with Jace was to let him rest and time would heal whatever was wrong. We didn't want to put Jace through all of that either. So we trusted the Doctors and just a few hours later they released us. We still dont know what was wrong with Jace and I don't think we ever will. We will just take him home and let him rest it off.
