tuesday....

and it continues....

david called for unemployment this morning..and they said he had to talk to the unemployment lawyers..so what is that all about? will delay payment..."possibly"...so what is that about?

more importantly...

Maddy went to the dr. this morning..she couldn't sleep during the night and this morning she woke up and she had a big lump on the side of her neck...that was very painful to the touch...(like a diameter of a golf ball! but not as pronounced)...they did a blood test and they are treating her with antibotics..now this dr. is asking all kinds of questions..that totally scared the sh*t out of us..."was she with anyone with cats that could have scratched her"..."was she near anyone with tuberculosis"..."we use the term malignancy because children this age do not understand the term"

wait back up the truck.............

..MALIGNANCY!!!!...???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

'but it probably is just a glandular infection..."...we are just not doing well at all and are waiting on results....and then we have to wait 10 days to see what this lump will do....she has no other illness related symptoms...no sore throat, ear aches etc...nothing... just can't turn her head..or lay on that side etc...we went to the parade yesterday for memorial day and she didn't complain about anything...but looking at some of the pictures...yep...there it is!

each year we take family pictures on memorial day since the kids were little and on...by the same city sign...etc...last year kevin was in iraq so he couldn't be part of the picture except in our hearts...



if you look to the left side of her neck...you can see the lump...yesterday she didn't complain about it at all...



dr. checked and didn't see a stinger or bug bite...dr. said she'd call back asap this afternoon...

what a day...makes our other problems trivial...

big hugz and love...
