Brenley

After our fight with RSV, we decided to find a new Pediatrician. This is the Metroplex people.... you have competition and if you are unavailable and non responsive, I will find a doctor who is. We found a new one last week and really like her!

About 2.5 months ago Brenley developed a small lump on her head. It's about the size of an M&M and didn't seem to bother her, so we didn't have her checked out. During our well-visit last week our Dr said that she thought it might be one of two things. One: a swollen lymph node due to the fact that she has a mild case of Cradle Cap. Two: it could be a Dermoid Tumor. She is leaning to the tumor since lymph nodes usually do not swell up for longer then two months and they usually act symmetrically, meaning the one on the other side of the head would be swollen as well.  

We are treating the cradle cap to see if it has any effect on the lump and if not, she will refer us to a pediatric surgeon. Basically this type of tumor is almost always benign and it removed easily, but it would involve a MRI and that would mean the Brenley would need to be put under.

We go back to see her next week, so I will keep you posted. I know that she is being taken care of by the Lord and that He has a plan for her life that is beyond my control, but we want to make the best decisions we can if surgery presents itself.
