hi ladybuggy.........has there been any improvements since the onset of all of this? I can't offer you much advice or even know what it could possibly be, but I'd stay on top of it.

what kind of doctor did he see? Maybe he should see a specialist or something if this doesn't improve.

Hi Thanks for the reply:) This morning he can walk on it he is very careful on it but he is walking on it!! he saw his ped. i'm going to call him this afternoon i'm hopeing that this means his white cell count is better?? or if it is a sep. issue?? i was just thrown for a loop at the Dr. cause i thought he just pulled a muscle or some thing while he was sleeping... (so i didn't have any questions untell after they were closed )and then this other stuff came up i googled white cell count stuff in kids it really scared me soo i decided to wait to talk to dr. again.... cause it is in norm range but VERY low....any thoughts on questions ?? thanks

Ladybug-
There are many infections and viruses that can and do settle in the hips. I know it's a very worrisome situation, but you did the right thing taking him to the doctor. Good luck sweetie, and please let us know how things come along!
