Re: Hard bump on Maysa's head - Merrick's Mom?

[Guest guest]

Hi Leila--

Yes, it was little Merrick that had a similar spot, although I'm

thinking it was a lymph node. It seemed harder than that, so I wasn't

convinced, but it has pretty much gone away, so it is likely that it

was.

Good for you for getting x-rays. Keep us posted on what they tell you.

her head that was sticking out.  It seems like it has grown in size

so on Sunday we took her in for some X-rays.  At first, they told us

that we would get the results back within 2 days.  Well, today is

Thursday and when I called this morning they still wouldn't tell me

what the results were (or as they say: the results are not in yet).

anybody familiar with those bumps?  Oh yeah, and by the way, it is

not a lymph node because it doesn't move.  It feels more like a hard

piece of bone sticking out on the back right side of her head towards

the skull base.

son's head?  If so, is it gone?  What are the doctors saying about

it?  What are you doing about it?
