It Just Blew Up

"Christian" had been complaining of pain in his knee for severral days.  Last Friday we infused per our bleed protocol and over the weekend, all seemed well...until Monday.  We infused per a bleed again, I went to the school to give a second dose and ended up bringing him home.  His knee was swelling and he was limping.

After an afternoon on the sofa the knee was looking better, until around 6 pm when it just seemed to "blow up".  He has never had a knee bleed before and it looks awful.  Just like the photos you see from Laurie Kelley or the NHF.

We came into the hospital last night and he has rested comfortably since around 2 am (with the help of morphine for the pain).

I've no idea what the day is going to bring, but I am grateful to be at the hospital this morning.
