Constant pain

Thomas has been having an increase in pain overall since I last posted.  He told me today that his whole body hurts; everything except his butt.  At least he still has his sense of humor!  We have made an appointment with our Naturopath for this Friday morning.  Hopefully, he will have some other ideas to try.  His leg pain is the worst but the headache is still constant and now he has pain in his feet, arms and back.  The leg pain is very frustrating to Thomas.  He badly wants to play hockey this fall.  We signed him up for a 6 session hockey skills camp in August- an hour twice a week.  Really hoping he is going to be able to participate and have fun.

It makes me sad to see him tuck himself into bed frequently throughout the day.  Sometimes, he snuggles under the covers just trying to get a break from the pain.   Othertimes like this photo he just plops down on the bed.  This was taken shortly after returning home from church.  Small outings wear him out.  

He likes me to rub his legs and feet and we are looking into massage therapy.  I have been making lots of phone calls trying to determine who to start with. 

We did have some fun this weekend going to a local park and wading in the creek.

 We are taking a break from the oils except if he wants any used when I massage his legs.  We tried them for almost 3 months and besides little moments here and there, we just haven't had the results we'd hoped for.  That's all for now.  I'll post sometime after our Naturopath appointment.
