Bump Update

Ben & I both went with Rhett to his Dr. appointment this morning. The TB skin test was negative and when they measured the bumps, the one in his armpit had grown some. It is now 1.5 inches. The other bump on his ribs had gone down but not disappeared. Dr. Jantz felt like we needed to get a surgeon involved so we could really find out what's going on in there. Luckily Dr. Cranston, the surgeon, wasn't in surgery this morning and we were able to meet with him too. He said his initial thought was cat scratch but since we have that ruled out, he felt like we'd better go in too. He asked if Monday morning would work. "Yes!" I said.

So we'll go in EARLY Monday morning for outpatient surgery. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure if they will just drain it, or remove the whole thing. I don't care what they do with it as long as we find out what it is! Rhett is excited because he gets to wear his pajamas to the Dr. He even asked if he could bring his sleeping bag.

Rhett & Daddy played soccer while we were waiting for the surgeon to come in. By the way he was running around, you'd never think he should be in the doctor's office. He was sweaty and red-cheeked when the surgeon came in!
