Hopefully you guys will have some idea of what's going on with Ayden. We spent all day yesterday at the Drs office and getting xrays and finally all night in the ER with no answers.
Ayden woke up yesterday very sore in his right leg, so much that he cried all day and couldn't put any weight on his leg. His knee seemed to be bothering him first, so we had that xrayed, which came back "normal" , then it looked like his ankle was swollen and we took him to the er and they said xray was fine, and bloodwork was normal, and it may be a virus that is inflaming his joints, but they want us to follow up with an ortho.
He hasn't had any problems like this before except for one time with his flu shots he looked a little unsteady on his feet, but nothing like this. He can't stand up at all, and he is running a mild fever (100 degrees) and he hasn't had any injuries to his leg either. Anyone ever have this happen before, or even heard of anything like this?
I feel so bad for my little guy, and I'm at a loss as to what this could be. Any ideas?(( thanks! ))
UPDATED: Ayden has been called back to the ER because his culture is growing some sort of bacteria, we don't know what yet but he is now spending the night in the hospital getting iv antibiotics, please pray for him , (and me) I had to leave him there with Daddy and take Evan home. We'll know more tomorrow.

The doctors were baffled. They ended up doing titers for a ton a viruses. It turned out that she had mono within the past 6-9 weeks. They said the joint soreness was a reactive delay to the mono. I felt terrible becuase I didn't even know she had mono! Kids can have very light cases of certain viruses. In Sarah's case, I remember she was very tired and didin't want to walk. I thought she was just being lazy because she wanted to be carried all the time.
