Started the day with a good workout at Cardiac Rehab, as usual. Hubbie was gone to a Master Gardener meeting when I got home. He came back in time for a chef's salad and fruit lunch, after which we ran our daily errands...to the bank, to a grocery store to pick up the house brand of low-fat cottage cheese (my favorite), and then to the worldwide discount chain store for a few more grocery items and to pick up photos. Unfortunately, the one-hour service was down, though, so I couldn't pick up the snapshots I wanted to send to my high school friend (the one who, after not having seen her for 40 years, visited me in July while we were camped in our capital city).
Back home, I returned a phone call to Daughter, who said Granddaughter was on her way to our state's children's hospital, where Great-Granddaughter was to have an MRI and other tests to find out what's wrong with her leg. Poor baby couldn't have anything to eat or drink after midnight last night, and she was very hungry and cranky. Her appointment was scheduled for this morning, but it was after 6 p.m. this evening before all the tests were run, and she was released...by this time, starving.
The pediatrician at the hospital found fluid on Great-Granddaughter's knee, which indicates infection, so she has prescribed medications for it. If Great-Granddaughter does not improve, she will have to go back to the hospital, where she will undergo a bone scan to discover if she might have juvenile arthritis.
I feel it is more likely that Great-Granddaughter has an infection in that knee, which seems to fit with the fact that she injured her leg when she got it caught in a recliner chair a couple of weeks ago.
Anyway, we can relax for now, after spending an anxious day waiting to hear about her.
