Costochondritis
For the past few weeks, Jacob has been experiencing sharp pains on the left side of his chest. The discomfort would sometimes come on suddenly even when he was just sitting around. Wednesday, when he screamed out in agony, I decided that it was finally time to bring him to the doctor. What a compassionate mom I am - only allowing his torture to go on for 17 days before offering to help. We went to the pediatrician yesterday, and after much poking and prodding, Jacob was diagnosed with costochondritis. Huh? The doctor told us that while it is not a common condition, it is certainly not rare, either. Evidently, the cartilage beneath his ribcage on his left side is inflamed, thus resulting in intense pain whenever it bulges out through the ribs. The cause could possibly have been an injury, a virus, or the straining of a muscle. Often, however, the origin is never determined. His treatment is 400 mg. of ibuprofen every 6 hours, and absolutely no strenuous activity. Which is kind of disappointing since his fall aquatics class began yesterday. Hopefully, he will be back in the swim in the next week or two.

My buddy Jake hurt himself break dancing at Jennifer's wedding!! YOWZA!! Heal up soon, Jake--so you'll be back on your game!!
It appears that the dancing may have been the cause of the costochondritis, but we will never know for sure. At least he had fun at the time! Today Jacob is feeling much better - he will probably even be able to swim by Thursday.
