quinn's neck.

  On Tuesday we went to the ear, nose and throat doctor per request of her regular doctor because when Asa was born I noticed a lump on her neck when she was looking up one time.  It freaked me out and I worried about it being cancer (I have learned from my therapist friend I am a"fear based" person.) so when we went to a doctor appointment for Asa I asked the doctor what he thought.  He said if it got bigger then he would schedule an appointment with a speciality doctor-well, it did.  So, we went to this visit some 3 months later very anxious to hear the results.  The doc. said he thinks it is a thyrodial (sp) cyst that formed when she was 2 weeks in the womb.  Everyones thyroid starts high up in their neck and then moves down and something happened to hers when it moved down.  Doctors see this pretty often and she will only need surgery if it keeps getting bigger.  In that case they would have to take out part of her throat bone too.  :(  The doc said he didn't think it was cancer because it was too soft.  Whew...what a relief!  

  Quinn did so good doing everything the doctor asked with sticking her tongue in and out and swallowing.  All for a mermaid sticker...by the end of the visit she ended up milking the doc for 3 stickers when his intention was to only give her one!  She is Dru's daughter!  :)  He was making animal noises when he was looking in her ears (very real ones) and she was looking at him like he was crazy.
