What's going on in our house these days....

Justus has been having pain in his leg for the last month and we have been going in and out of the doctor's office trying to figure this out. First we thought maybe he pulled a muscle in baseball, then growing pains, and then we found out that they thought one leg was longer than the other. Last week we went into Seattle to a pediatric orthopedic that told us that actually his legs looked the same length, but his hip was really tight. After another x-ray of the hip, she noticed it looked like blood wasn't getting to one of the hip bones. It could be a number of things still, but we are headed into Children's Hospital tomorrow for more blood tests and a bone scan. We would love any prayers we can get for Justus to feel at peace and be calm during the injection and scan, as well as the blood work. We would also prayer for quick answers, knowledgeable doctors, and of course healing! They are supposed to give us results next Monday, so we will let you know. Thanks in advance for your prayers for our our family!
