10-6-2009 - Concerned about my Lily............keep us in your prayers

My mood while writing this blog:
not sure

A couple of days ago I was rocking my Lily and rubbing her head and I noticed a lump at the top of her neck, about 2 inches behind her left ear. I thought it was probably a little lymph node, and that she might be fighting an infection, but she has not had any signs of sickness. I keep feeling it hoping it will go down, but it remains the same size, I would say it's about half the size of a pea or a tiny bit larger. I was just going to wait and have the doctor look at it when I went in for her 2 month check up or bring her in now, so I called the doctors office and they said to definitely bring her in now. So, I have to wait until tomorrow morning to see what the doctor says about it. God, I hope it is nothing. I've been able to handle everything else thrown at us, but I think one of my children being horribly sick would break me into pieces. DH is out of town until tomorrow evening, and I think I am just going to wait until he gets home to tell him anything. There is no point in freaking him out when there is nothing he can do. Well, I hope I'm just an overly concerned parent, and it's not something major. please, please, please keep Lily in your prayers!!
P.S. The part that scares me the most is that it is hard and does not move around!

How is your appt goig?
My son had the same thing at 2 weeks old! I brought him in cause he actually had several on the back of his head!!! The dr said he was probably fighting something like swollen lymph nodes like you menioned - They went a way and then at time I still feel them but aren't a concern. Hope there is nothing wrong with your Lo either.

Hey hun I stumbled across your site and noticed your blog. That sounds like the exact same thing my son had when he was that age I FREAKED! Took him to the doctors they said it was just a lympth node in some baby's they are more noticible and he would grow out of it. He's 2 today and its not noticible anymore. I'm sure your little one is just fine too!

I think my little nephew had that exact thing when he was little and eventually just grown out of it. But I'll still pray for little Lily..

I'm not sure if this is going to help at all, but my little girl (5.5 months old) was born with a lump on the back of her head. I noticed as soon as I held her for the first time and freaked out. I asked the nurses in the hospital about it and they felt it and said that it was just a grouping of blood vessels and that she is going to have it forever. It is right on the back of her head, about in the middle of the back of her head. It is actually a light blue color. But it is about the size of a pea as well, and doesn't move around either. It doesn't bother her, even if you touch it... I am praying for your little Lily, and hope that it turns out to be nothing, like my little girls did.... Please keep us updated! *Hugs*
