I got a call from Rheumatology today and here is the latest:
-Bloodwork all looked good (she listed off the numerous things they tested but I'd be lucky to remember two!)
-Liver and Kidney function is good
-There were traces of blood in her urine but then upon microscopic look it appeared not to be a concern - I didn't really get this but I was told not to worry about it so I happily won't. :)
-Lymes came back elevated again on the initial test but the confirmation test came back negative so it is now confirmed that she does NOT have Lymes
So... We have a follow-up appointment on the 30th after which she will have an outpatient procedure to inject a steroid into her knee to hopefully put the arthritis into remission and they will X-ray her leg bones to measure for any discrepancy in length. If for some reason the limp drastically improves or goes away before the 30th they'll cancel the appointment but for now that's the plan.
I will also schedule an eye exam in the very near future but other than that we sit still and just hope that she continues to be pain-free and the busy body she's always been. Yeah Olivia. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end - only time will tell but we'll continue to wish for the best.
Thanks again to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. :)

I sure hope it's the beginning of the end as well. One of Lena's favorite books when she was little was called "Busy Bunnies". I wish I still had it because I think it's out of print now. Lena was and still is "busy" - I think Olivia will be fine no matter what because that is just who she is :)
