Toxic Synovitis

Well, I thought H&N had recovered from the cold they had over Labor Day weekend, but I was wrong. On Thursday morning, after a restless night, Henry had severe pain in his legs and wouldn't crawl or put any weight on his legs. I was extremely worried and immediately took him to the doctor after dropping Nate at the ELC. 5 hours, 3 X-rays and a blood test later, the doctor determined that he has toxic synovitis. The respiratory virus has moved down to the hip joints causing pain and inflammation. Treatment is bed rest and baby ibuprofen. Henry seems to be much better today (Friday), but is still crawling with a limp. This morning Nathan was having trouble crawling and also has a limp. Luckily, he doesn't seem to be in very much pain. Poor babies!! We cancelled our plans to go camping with Amy, Rob, Nolan and Robyn so the boys could rest at home. :( The good news is that Daddy (Joe) will be home tomorrow!

Here are two more videos that I took today, plus one still shot of Nathan with his massive forehead bruise.
