1 Week Gone...very scary

Well, last week it was shots for our poor baby girl...now this week, Saturday, we found 3 little lumps on the back of Adi's head! Now, we tried to keep a positive mindset for these lumps because whenever anyone has a lump, we all know the first thing that comes to mind but I am not even going to say it! Right away Monday morning I called Dr. Murray's office to get an appointment for Adi. They are so good to us and got us in on Tuesday because Dr. Murray is not in the office on Mondays!

Everything is FINE! Thank goodness! Dr. Murray explained to us that there are 20-30 lymph nodes on the back of her head, kind of at the base of the skull and from time to time this lymph nodes swell up...especially if there has been an infection. Well, she hasn't had any illnesses, BUT, she did begin to get a bit of cradle cap, which Dr. Murray said can cause these to swell because her body is telling her that the cradle cap is like an infection, even though it's NOT an infection! Also, with Adi getting her shots last week and getting a fever, that could have caused these lumps to swell as well! Any way we look at it...even though it is VERY normal, Nick and I feel so much better taking her to the Dr. to have this checked out! Oh how much we love her!

God is so good to us!
