Wastlund Family

We had so much fun having all the family in town for the baptism, we pretty much partied all day.  We also got to attend and help at our ward trunk or treat earlier that week, and watch the girls in thier school parade.

Grace began to have back pain about 4 weeks ago. It began to get so severe that we took her into the ER. They diagnosed it as an upper urinary tract infection and put her on an antibiotic. The pain didn't stop. She couldn't even walk and had missed 2 weeks of school.  We took her to our primary care Dr and he took urine and blood and it showed protien in her urine and white blood cells. He did a stonger antibiotic shot in her leg (which she hated) and ordered an ultrasound to check for appendicitis, and gallbladder...nothing. The pain continued and she had to continually be on tylenol and ibupofin or would be crying out in pain. Our Dr. said to take her back to the ER. They did a CT scan...nothing and I demanded an MRI. We weren't going home without knowing what was causing this pain. They found something and diognosed her with Schmorls node and sent a refferal to an orthopedic dr. The more I read about this Schmorls node it said it was asymptotic. It didn't make sense ...
