Knots Knots Go Away...

Please say a little prayer for Lyddie. She has had a knot in her neck from the time she was a couple of weeks old. They always check it when we are at the doctor and they always say that it's fine. A couple of weeks ago a new one popped up right next to it and they seemed bigger. We took her to the doctor for something else and when she checked the knot, she said that its bigger than the ones they typically see. She wasn't overly concerned but referred us to an ENT just to be safe. He checked her and thought they seemed big and had us bring her back a couple of weeks later to recheck it (she had a little infection and that would make her lymph nodes swollen). I took her in yesterday and he felt like one was bigger and the other was at least the same size. He sent us over to have blood drawn, a chest x-ray, and a TB test. He said that he feels like the chance of it being serious is small, but he wants to check it out. I'm sure she is fine but we would REALLY appreciate some extra prayers. She did really well yesterday. I was pretty shocked at how well she did :). She didnt cry when they drew blood from the first arm but they had to stick her again because they couldnt' get enough. She cried pretty hard with the second stick. She got over it really quick and picked out toys from the treasure chest. She went right over and got her chest xray. She stood up on the stool and smiled. When we went for the TB test she watched the lady stick her and the bubble form under the skin. She said that it was cute :). She didn't cry through that either. That's my Lyddie!! Now if I could get her (oldest) brother to do that well :). Haha.
You can kind of see the knot on her neck in this picture. Under her ear and towards the back a little.This was after they drew her blood. She loved the pink "bandaids" on her arms. She wouldn't let me take them off for a long time :). The quality is horrible because its on my phone.

Thanks for the update Ang! It's been a couple of weeks since we've talked a/b this. I'll be continuing to pray hard a/b this; I know it weighs heavy on a Momma's heart. Just find comfort in the fact that the Lord already know exactly what these knots are and how He's going to take care of them! Love you friend...
