Back from Dr. appt.

After having lunch a bit ago, Joey disappears. I go to check on him, walk into the bathroom, and find him standing on the bathroom counter.
He said he was doing his chores and cleaning the mirrors. I told him that you clean the mirrors with Windex not your toothbrush and toothpaste!
Well we saw his pediatrician this morning. She said its probably a
Thryoglossal Duct Cyst which is a neck mass or lump that develops from cells and tissue remaining after the formation of the thyroid gland during embryonic development. Its usually diagnosed in pre-school aged kids.
I asked her what happens if this is the true diagnosis and she said that
they would have to remove it. Surgery on my little guy :(
She referred me to an ENT [Ear Nose Throat Specialist] in Vegas. Christina is getting her braces on Monday at 10 then Joey's appt.
is at 1:30 p.m. Its going to be a crazy day [to say the least!] Say a little prayer for my family!
