Stockton

For a while now we have been keeping some news about Stockton to ourselves, because we didn't want to worry you over nothing. We have told a few people & they have told a few people, so we figured we can talk about it openly now. About a month or so ago, Nic found a lump on Stocktons neck. You can bet I about crapped my pants when he showed me. Of course he found it on a Sunday, so we were panic stricken until Monday when I took him in. Our Doctor said that Swollen lymph nodes are VERY common in kids. He then gave Stockton a Z-Pack antibiotic to rid him of any infection. & told me to come back in 10 days. So we went back, lymph nodes still the same size. (I would guess it's about the size of a kidney bean) Obviously not caused by an infection. Did some blood work to try & determine Mono, & check CBC. Mono came back negative & CBC came back normal. So he said lets watch it another 2 weeks & then re-check. So being that they (one on each side & the Doctor could feel some under his jaw) were still there, no change in size he scheduled an ultra sound. We had that done on Thursday & got the results today. It ruled out that there wasn't any kind of infection. Which is kind of what we were hoping for. Those are easy to fix. So, the next step is to get a CT scan done. We will be doing that next week.
