I had a nice day on Sunday. Craig spoiled me thoroughly; flowers, chai latte, eggs Benedict, cooked dinner and made flourless chocolate torte for dessert. He also did laundry and took the lead on the kids. Poor guy did not have a very restful weekend! Thanks for the wonderful cards and gifts!
No news yet on Reagan's leg. Her Pediatrician called yesterday to check in. She had received the MRI results and was wondering if we had our Ortho appointment yet. I filled her in on what Dr. Achterman said and told her we are waiting on the Oncologist's opinion. She again said that she really did not think it was cancer, that it would be so unsual for something malignant to be hanging out on her leg for so long. Despite my own fears (which are unavoidable) I am feeling pretty positive about it too. I think it is likely something called a lymphangioma which is benign. From what I have read, removal is purely cosmetic unless it is in an area where it is impeding on major organs or airways. I would definitely not put my 2yr old through surgery for cosmetic reasons. I am hopeful that this is the case and we can wait to make a decision about surgery until she is older. I may call and bug Dr. Achterman's office today if I don't hear anything since he is leaving for a conference tomorrow and will be out the rest of the week. I will post updates as we get them.
