Kyra had her appt with the rheumatologist yesterday. He said that her blood work shows that if it is JRA (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) as he still suspects, then we've caught it early and it's just in the C1/C2 area and no where else. He says this is GREAT news and makes it very easy to treat. He sent us down after for her CT, which he thinks will confirm the JRA diagnosis, and then we will go from there.
He also wanted her to see one of the eye specialists there at Children's and we were lucky enough to get her an appt the same day as Olivia's post-op. I am SO thankful for that! It's costing us just over $100 in gas with every trip we make up there & we've been making alot of trips.

Hello,
My daughter, Grace, was just diagnosed with a cyst of some kind near her thyroid. Gracie is 6. Anyway, our pediatrician guesses that it is a thyroglossal cyst. We are scheduled to go to an ENT at our local children's hospital this upcoming Friday. We're just beginning the process, but from reading about your daughter's experience, it gives me some hope that all will be okay eventually. Thanks for helping me to know that I'm not alone with this.

Hi Jen! My thoughts & prayers will be with you & Grace :) I'll be praying for strength & for guidance for her doctors.
Olivia's post-op appt is tomorrow, so we'll get the final word then from her biopsy & whether or not she is indeed healing well, but I am anticipating a good report :)
I'm so glad that my posts were able to help someone. Please feel free to email me any time if you have questions, need to vent, or just want to chat: goddardfamily9@wildblue.net
Best of luck to you :)
