CURRENTLY via FReepmail from LibertyRocks 02/11/2010, late Thursday
It was a rough day. We are right now at Children’s Hospital, we came in this afternoon at 2:30 and by 5:00 she was admitted as a patient.
We are in our own private room in the oncology ward - not because she is sick, or because they are thinking it’s definitely cancer (still on the table though), it’s because there are so many kids sick with the flu and H1N1 in the other part of the Peds wing. It’s nice because they are very private rooms, and very comfortable and “homey”.

Dear FRiends,
I took my daughter Amanda (13 yo) to the doctor last night [Feb. 6]. She had been complaining of a sore calf for the last 2 weeks. I (we) assumed it was a pulled muscle, and told her to take it easy - she was still walking around and wasn’t limping, but we didn’t notice she was walking on her tiptoes on that leg (long pants...). Yesterday, she came to me and said, “Mom it’s starting to hurt REALLY bad, and there’s a lump....” Turns out there was a lump there, and it’s been getting bigger over the last week or so (at this point it’s slightly oval and at least 2 in. in diameter!). At the doctor’s office we were able to get her in to get an ultrasound before the techs left for the weekend. I saw the ultrasound, but don’t know what I was really looking at - it seemed the mass was pushing out in between her calf muscles so its origin was deep - like next to the bone itself. After the ultrasound my daughter got nervous and confessed there is a lump on her hip that’s been there for some time (a few months???) - it’s much smaller, but it’s there.
[WHY don’t children tell their parents these things? I can’t tell you how frustrating this is now.]
Anyway, the doctor ruled out infection, and a blood clot, and they mostly ruled out a pulled / torn muscle (it would hurt WORSE on her toes if it were the muscle), but they can’t give us a diagnosis at this point at all. They are scheduling her for an MRI (of her leg & hip) first thing [February 8], we need to schedule an appointment with our reg. doctor ASAP for a referral to an Orthopedic Surgeon. If the MRI doesn’t give us more of an answer she will need a biopsy.
Please just pray for Jesus to heal my baby!
We’ve ruled out the “easy” stuff, and there is no history of trauma to the area either! This leaves a few VERY scary diseases - two that are cancers that primarily affect children her age. Combine that with the fact that her doctor’s are flying “half-blind” with only familial medical history of her father (I’m adopted), and it necessitates they treat this as if it’s a cancerous growth until they rule that out.
My daughter is normally a nervous person (like her mom), so please also pray for her to have strength, and not to worry. I’m trying VERY hard to be brave and strong for her, I’m praying with every other breath at this point.
Thanks to everyone for their prayers over our family. I know so many others are going through their own problems. Please know, you all remain in my thoughts and daily prayers.
God Bless all of you, LR

UPDATE: AMANDA GOT TO COME HOME TODAY (Sat. Eve.)!!!
[List holders, please be so kind as to ping your prayer lists! I would be much obliged as I don’t know who wrote me privately earlier that is on which list(s) — My apologies for duplicates]
Amanda was able to come home from the hospital this evening (with promises to completely stay off her leg from her, and promises from her Dad and I to call them if ANYTHING changes)!!!
She can’t bear any weight on her leg in order to prevent her calf muscle from tearing (they will be delivering a wheelchair for her on Monday).
We still need your prayers: Her medication is in low supply in the hospitals and the pharmacies do not regularly carry it, and it will need to be special ordered. We were able to get two doses from St. Joseph’s via a transport crew from St. Clare’s (20 mins. away) who were about to go there when we showed up with the news from the Walgreens & Shopko pharmacies. They brought it back here with them on their return trip.
We will need to be at the pharmacy first thing tomorrow morning, and hopefully somehow we can get an emergency shipment from somewhere. We only have enough for tonight’s dose, and tomorrow morning’s. Please pray they are able to obtain some and get it here ASAP, or that our regular pharmacy might happen to have it for some odd reason! We don’t want to miss a dosage...
Thanks again for everyone’s prayers, love and support! Praise God for all of you, and of course all the wonderful folks at St. Joseph’s, and now St. Clare’s as well!
Oh, her head and chest X-rays were all clear, so best we can tell the infection is limited to those two spots in her body!!! PRAISE GOD for that!
We were told her leg WILL get a little bit worse before it starts getting better in a few days. She’s got some really good pain relievers, and we’ve got her set up in the living room here with tons of pillows so she’s resting comfortably!
Thanks again and may God bless all of you and yours!
Most Sincerely,
LibertyRocks
Thank You Lord for Amanda coming home today.
We praise You for Your many blessings.
In Jesus’ Holy Name.
Amen.
PRAISE GOD.
OLIVE LEAF CAPSULES is reportedly quite antifungal.
One can research it on the net. It doesn’t compete with meds, IIRC.
Prayers for Amanda and for LibertyRocks. We had a similar situation some years back with our then-teen daughter. She was treated (cancer-free) and has had no recurrence of the lumps or pain. I pray that Amanda has a similar, and very quick, healing.
Thank you for the update and the good news. Prayers continue for her speedy recovery.
Heavenly Father, we beg You for Your help in getting Amanda’s medication to her very quickly, so that she does not miss a dose. Please bless Amanda and her loving family as they go through this trial, with Your comfort, Your peace, and your strength. In Christ’s Most Holy Name I join my prayers to others here, amen.
Prayers said.
Thanks for the update and HALLELUJAH!
Continued prayers for more good news.
