Brynn's Trip To Urgent Care

Brynn woke up this morning with a big lump below her left ear. I took her to Children's Mercy South Urgent Care. Fortunately, she got seen by a doctor that I used to work with on Pediatrics. She got lab work done (poor baby got stuck twice) and it came back within normal limits. We are waiting to see the results of her blood cultures (48-72 hours). They started her on an antibiotic anyway, eventhough they think it may be viral and not bacterial. We are going to follow up with our primary doctor on Tuesday at their 4 month appt. I am still very concerned that this "lump" could be something very serious. I am praying that the antibiotic works and it disappears. Being a pediatric nurse, I know way too much about this stuff and have decided that sometimes "ignorance is bliss." Please, pray for my little girl that this goes away with her antibiotic. As for Brody, he continues to be a happy boy with lots of smiles and giggles. He is quite the goof ball! Brynn finally giggled for the first time at Grandma Farnan last Thursday. It was too cute!
