Long week!

                This week has been a rather long week!  Last week we found a knot on the side of Lily's neck.  It was pretty big.  We took her to the Doctor last Friday and she thought it was a muscle in her neck that had tightened up, and if that was the case we would need to do physical therapy to loosen it up, however, she wanted to do an ultrasound just to make sure.  So she scheduled us an ultrasound for Tuesday of the past week.  Lily did great at the ultrasound.. even though I was having to pull her should and head apart she never cried.. just wiggled around a lot.  After the radiologist looked at the picture he came and and said that it was a bunch of small swollen Lymph Nodes.  He said this is usually caused by an infection (such as a cold).  So he called her pediatrician who called us in some medicine and which is really strong.  Sadly it is giving poor Lily the runs which in turn is causing her to have severe diaper rash no matter how much we change her or put ointment on her.  She is handling it pretty well but gets a little more upset than she normally does.  Luckily, the bump is going down and she only has 5 more days to be on the medicine.
                  Other than that everything is going really good.  I am so trying to live in the moment but seeing everyone's pictures of being out on the lake and camping this week makes me long for the days that she is a little older and we can take her to do that, however, I know time flies by so I am trying to enjoy where we are right now.  On a happy note Lily she slept from 11:00 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. this morning, woke up and drank a few ounces, went back to sleep at 5:30 a.m. and slept until 8:30!!!  She has always been pretty good about sleeping but hopefully this will be a new thing.  It is so hard believe that she is 5 weeks old today.    Time really does go by fast!  Nothing really new or exciting going on the upcoming week but I will let you know if anything of interest winds up happening lol.  Hope you all have a fun and safe memorial day weekend and a great upcoming week!
