Barbara Jean and I went out for a long long walk lastnight (instead of the gym - since it was so nice) - when we got home around 8:30 Pete was sitting on the couch w/ the kids and asked if Jess had bumped her head. He showed us a huge, fluid filled lump on the side of her head - we were shocked and scared all at the same time. It wasn't your normal bump on the head - but squishy, creepy and fluid filled. We debated for a while whether we should talk her to ER but decided to see if it went away overnight. Well it didn't. So this a.m. we ran her over to see Dr. Leonard - he thought it might be a cyst, fluid from a broken blood vessel or possibly a contusion. He sent us over to the radiologist to have a quick x-ray just in case - but thankfully it turned out to be nothing serious. He thinks it will dissipate on it's own so we don't want to traumatize her further by having him drain the fluid out with a needle. We are all super relieved - but Miss Jessica you gave Mommy and Daddy quite a scare this morning love. She handled the skull x-rays like a champ! The radiologist said she was the best baby patient she'd ever had. WHEW I feel like I can breathe again... It's scary to think about your kids being sick. You rack your brain and drive yourself crazy wondering. You even start bargaining with God (If she's fine I promise I'll......) Thanks for looking over us today.
