Doctors

Ladybug had a doctor's appointment on Monday to look at a lump on her leg. It is pretty big & has been there for about 3 wks. We went to the doctor 2 wks ago & the doctor on call did not seem concerned. She said to keep an eye on it & come back if it changed. Well, 2 wks later it is still there. Her pedi was in town this time & was able to look at it. He was concerned about what it was & why it showed up 3 wks after her immunizations. Initially it was thought to be a knot from the shots. Well, we went for a sonogram on Tuesday morning & then to meet w/the surgeon on Tuesday afternoon. Ladybug did really well during the sonogram. She was not scared & stayed still until the tech finished. Well, once we went to the surgeon, she said she would call on Thursday after she had viewed the sonogram footage, to tell us what steps would be taken next. She called yesterday & praise God!!! It was full of fluid. The size concerned her a little, but she thinks it will be absorbed back into the thigh. She wants us to call in 2 wks & say if it has gone down or not. We will go back in & discuss draining the knot, depending on how it looks & what the surgeon thinks. She was really nice & sat & held Ladybug for the majority of the visit. Ladybug even grabbed a piece of paper & "read" to her. She is such a wonderful baby!
