ZAC'S MRI

ZAC HAS A LUMP ON HIS NECK!
We just noticed it Fourth of July weekend when Debbie pointed it out. We saw our pediatrician the next week and
needless to say, he was concerned.




1st we did blood work and an ultra sound.
The results: cell count good, and thyroid levels good (from blood work) and we know it's not protruding deeper than surface into muscle or esophagus (ultra sound) But they still didn't know what it was.
It feels soft which is a good sign (hard lumps are more indication of cancer) and doesn't seem to cause him any pain.
So we got an MRI today and we'll hopefully know later today or tomorrow what the heck is going on!!!




Zac had so much fun in the pediatric waiting area. It totally kept his mind off the fact that he wasn't allowed to eat any breakfast!





They gave him a mask to play with to practice and be comfortable with the idea of the doctor using it to sedate him for the MRI. But all Zac kept wanting to do was put it in the play mailbox.
