Another MRI

I went to the Sports Med doc this morning and he said that the first course of action should be a follow-up MRI to see if my femoral stress fx has healed. It is also possible that I am still experiencing bursitis and if that is the case, a little cortisone shot should help. So no more running until we find out what is going on. The problem is that running doesn't hurt ( I just feel crooked), what hurts me most is biking and vacuuming. Hopefully, the MRI, which is scheduled Monday morning, will be normal and then it will just be an issue of physical therapy to correct my biomechanics. I just want to get to the bottom of this since I have experienced this pain since February.

In other medical news, Elena had an allergic reaction to a food last week. She developed a rash on her face (see pic below) and hives on her arm. Luckily, she didn't have any trouble breathing or I would have totally lost it! We called her pediatrician and they told us to give her 1 tsp children's Benadryl (FYI, have this on hand just in case. I made my Aunt run to the store to get it since I didn't have any) and then scheduled an appt for her a few hours later. They told us that if prior to the appt she has any difficulty breathing, she needs to get to an ER ASAP.
The pediatrician referred us for formal allergy testing and we learned this week from the allergist that she is allergic to walnuts (the culprit food that she put in her mouth while we were cooking), peanuts, pecans, and pistachios. So now we have epi-pens for her and new concerns about leaving her at the YMCA childcare. They don't allow peanuts, but do allow all other nuts. So this means that I will keep her in the baby room to reduce her chance of exposure and be super vigilant each time I leave her and let everyone knows she is allergic and has an epi-pen. Scott is also allergic to peanuts and has experienced two anaphylactic events in the past 5 years so it is definitely a bummer to learn this about Elena.

The good medical news is the mysterious chest pain that Scott used to experience while running had disapeared after the removal of this thyroid cancer. We never would have thought that his cancer would have a silver lining.
