Scared?...not yet, but a little uncertain. Reliant on God? 100%!

Lately our 6 year old daughter, 'Jewel', has been awaking during the night and also complaining randomly throughout the last few weeks about leg pain, especially in her right foot.  It's been a very unusual thing as she has been saying her foot is very cold and hurts to walk on.  Obviously my first thoughts were of poor circulation and that she is sleeping on it in a wrong fashion, but after about two weeks of this going on I've begun to grow a bit concerned.  Sometimes she acts perfectly normal and walks, hops, and runs on it as if it's totally fine only for 2 hours later her to mention again that she has some reoccuring pain.When my husband and I have asked her about describing the pain; Is it tingling? Can she 'feel' her foot/leg and is it numb?  How badly is the pain?, Jewel's only answer is always the same 'It just hurts and feels cold.  Can you please put some blankets on it?' 

To me this is rather unusual for a 6 year old but for the past two weeks I've tossed it off to the side refusing to think negatively that it could be something overly concerning.  I mean she did have quite a bit of activities going on recently that could have caused her to slightly twist her ankle causing her some discomfort or whatnot.  She's in cheerleading, she had her birthday party at an indoor bounce house, and she has a ton of cousins, not to mention daddy (my husband) who loves to 'rough play' with both our kids so any number of these things could have jolted her leg in the wrong manner.  The only problem with this theory is that myself nor my husband  recall her ever approaching either one of us on any specific time frame about her hurting her foot, ankle, or leg EVER.  Her onset of sudden complaints came out of nowhere so we are a bit perplexed.  At her age she should not be complaining of cold feet or consistant, yet random leg pain so I've decided to call our family doctor.  The nurse put me on hold to speak with our doctor who told me to schedule an appointment to bring her in for some testing.  The appointment is for tomorrow at 2PM so I'll have to get her out of school an hour early, which she is looking forward too.  What she won't be looking forward to is the blood work that the nurse already warned me that they would be 'drawing' from 'Jewel' to run some tests.  I haven't shared this part with Jewel as I know how she'll get; more scared than the average 6 year old, and so full of anxiety that she'll more than likely 'wet' herself.  I'm waiting to tell her tomorrow before the appointment, probably on the drive there or in the waiting room but definitely not before school starts or who knows what will happen.  I can only imagine if I did tell her in the morning that she would more than likely focus on this throughout her entire Kindergarten day, preventing her from concentrating on learning, eating lunch, or even playing at recess.  Yes, this truly is how 'worked up' she gets over some things.  So I'm waiting and I'll be praying about the right time to tell her but I'll also bring her favorite 'blankie' that she's had since she turned 1 years old and still sleeps with to this day. (I'd better slyly get this from her grip right now in her sleep before I forget it tomorrow.)

Please would you keep Jewel in your prayers?  Not only for the needle injection she'll get for having her blood 'drawn' but also for some safe answers as to reasons her foot/leg is suddenly and unexpectantly giving her some problems.  I'm simply clueless and don't know what to think....

Thank you kindly,
