Growing Pains

SUCK !!! Reagan has been dealing with what the Dr tells us are growing pains now for the last couple of years, this week she has had them every night and it's taking it's toll on both of us. There's no doubt in my mind that that is what we are dealing with as she has the very typical symptoms, evening pain or pain so bad that it wakes her up in the middle of the night,no limping or pain during the day and the fact that her knee doesn't hurt when a lot of pressure is applied to it takes away the worry that she has something really wrong with her. Regardless as a Mommy it hurts my heart to see my otherwise lively 5 y/o bawling and literally writhing in pain every night because her knee hurts. The only good thing about them is that Mommy's touch along with a dose of Ibuprofen can help the nasty pain go away.
