Poor Alex!

Over the last week, Alex has been complaining that her back hurt.  Loving parents that we are, we told her that it was prob. just a pulled muscle and she would be fine.  As the week progressed, she continued to complain, wasn't sleeping and would even move to the floor in the night trying to get comfortable.  This morning, I took her to the doctor, still explaining on the way that she prob. just pulled a muscle.  Well, it turns out that she did, but she also has a sprained back.   We didn't even know that you could do that.  It turns out that her poor little lower back is all inflamed.  It will just take time, but now it all makes sense.  We will be doing heating pad rituals every night now for at least a week and she will be taking an anti-inflammatory, but she will be fine.   Life lesson, You learn something new every day:0)
