The not-so-fun part of July for us was Paige developing a cyst that needed to be removed. A few weeks ago Jed and I noticed a lump on the side of Paiges neck. It was a hard and seemed to have just appeared. It was a Friday night, so I called her pediatrician who advised us to come in Sat. morning, thinking it was a lymph node. 2 doctors looked at it at her office and sent us for an ultrasound at the hospital, they did not think it was lymph node but a cyst. From there, we saw a surgeon at the Children's hospital in Peoria, who sent us for a 2nd ultrasound which confirmed this cyst and scheduled us to have surgery to remove it.
Tuesday of this week we got the cyst removed, about an hour long procedure. Now, we have 2 weeks of little activity, no swimming, bike riding, running and jumping.
Popsicles and Gatorade for breakfast the morning before surgery.
Paige and Daddy in recovery.
This bandage will stay on for the next 2 weeks.
