Another Night Hurting (Clara)

Today Clara was dragging a bit. She didn't mention any pain, she was just kind of mellow. If you know Clara at all, you know that she is either really hyper, or she's on electronics. But she's not usually dragging. (That's honestly the only way I know how to explain it). She had a little burst of energy early on and then she was done. It could be her hypoglycemia. I don't know. That's how this whole thing started with Mary too, so I'm just hoping it's normal growing stuff for Clara.

She had 3 vials of blood drawn today to check her levels to see if we need to worry about JA. Tonight, her knees were hurting her again. They didn't look swollen, but we will see what they look like in the morning. A few days ago, they were really swollen and hot to the touch. That's when we took her to the doctor, and they decided we needed to look to see what's going on.

Tonight, I gave her an Ibuprofen and she was able to fall asleep. She woke up a few minutes ago and said the medicine is helping a little, (Thank Goodness!) They're still sore, but not as bad. So that's good. At least she can find relief from just one Ibuprofen.

If it is JA, I hope we have caught hers early enough to do something about it before it gets too bad. I don't know what she's going to do about hurting knees and walking around school tomorrow. I'm so happy that she will be homeschooling next school year.

(Please Keep Her In Your Prayers)
