Delaney and I visited the ENT again yesterday. The news wasn't exactly what we were hoping for - the lymph node on her neck has gotten smaller, but it's not small enough yet. The next step? A C/T scan and a biopsy. 2 separate procedures in Wichita. We have sort of been anticipating this, but it was hard to actually hear it from the doctor. The C/T scan is supposed to show if the lymph node has abscessed anywhere and the biopsy will show what kind of infection we're dealing with. 3 rounds of antibiotics have not gotten rid of it. I hate to have Delaney go through all this, but I do hope we get some answers about what has caused her lymph node to grow.
For the most part, I'm okay with Delaney having the surgery. But, my mind wanders sometimes to the "what-ifs!" I know this surgery is probably pretty routine, but I also know that all surgeries have risks. That's where the "what-ifs" come in. So, I try to stay away from those, and pray that this surgery will at least give us some answers.
I should find out today when this will all happen - prayers would be appreciated!
