We are home from Collin & Cameron's Children's Hospital visits

Here's the scoop on the Children's hospital appointments for Collin and Cameron. Collin had his appointment with a Kidney specialist (Nephrologist) to determine if we were in fact dealing with HSP. He said Collin "thankfully" does not have HSP. This is great news. Kind of strange since he has had so much pain in his joints. Looks like some sort of allergic reaction. So, now I move forward with other "specialists" to figure out what he is allergic to. Even though this is a better diagnosis I still am worried about him and what he is allergic to. More blood work was also done and results can be expected in about a week to determine other cancers not prev. checked for.



Cameron is still a bit of a mystery. He was seen by "the" Dr. for the N.W. on cases of an Orthopedic nature. He ruled out tumors or anything cancerous. He said it could be Lymphatic and after an ultrasound was completed that was ruled out. There is a possibility that it's Hemi Hyper-trophy (one side of the body grows larger) and that is really scary to me. So, I will be seeing the Dr. about the next step in figuring out if he has this. Otherwise, Children's said they want to do an MRI at 1 yr of age as they need to put him to sleep.........: (

He mentioned this could also be something that corrects itself as he gets older. I am still not at ease, but happy that they were not concerned and did not feel urgent about it in the slightest.


Here are some pictures of my poor babies. They both have been through so much. I just feel so thankful to have you all keeping them in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks so much.
