I found a lump on Chantaye's neck last week, and I am worried out of my mind. We took her to the dr. on Friday and they put her on some antibiotics because she has a sinus infection and they think the lump could possibly be related to that. We were told that if the lump doesn't go away within 10 days we should take her to an oncologist. I personally don't want to wait that long, but we can't get an appointment until the 10 days are up. how stupid is this? that's one of the main questions that keeps running thru my head! I mean if it was their child they wouldn't want to wait. I have no patience for this waiting, but I am hoping and praying with all my might that they could be right and I'm over-reacting or something. There is a history of cancer on my side of the family, at least 6 that I know of so of course I am gonna think the worst possible thing anyway, that's what everyone says anyway.
We took Chantaye out Saturday and just spent the day totally devoted to her and we had to spoil her a little too. (she doesn't know what I am thinking as far as the lump is concerned, we are down-playing it for now) We took her to the arcade and mall down in Nashville and stayed and played for hours, and she got enough tickets to get her a little ring that looks like my sapphire and diamond ring, needless to say she was pretty proud that she had a ring just like mommy's now :) then we did some shopping both in and outside the mall. There was a little carnival in Smyrna so we stopped of there and rode a few rides, played a few more games and she finally managed to win a stuffed Scooby wizard there, I swear the games at carnivals are soo not meant for kids to win. When she decided she was getting tired at 10:40 we headed out and stopped off at Fazoli's to grab a bite, ran over to Wal-Mart where I found her some cute t-shirts. I found one that says, I didn't ask to be princess, but hey if the crown fits...she has decided that one is her favorite, it was a tough choice for her tho, because she really liked the 100% angel shirt I found. (I know these shirts are against the dress code, but can ya tell I'm not real impressed with it now? lol) We rode around Smyrna for just a bit and when she dozed off at almost 1am we decided to head on home lol she couldn't believe it was like 2:30 when we got home and she woke up, it was so funny the way she looked so confused, scratched her head and asked me if it was in the afternoon lol
I know I am rambling on and on without saying alot, I don't know what to do with myself tho. I kinda half-way tried to get her to stay home today since the TCAPS don't start again until tomorrow, but she said no she felt fine, was just tired, and wanted to go.
We got her several books at the library Friday night and she is really enjoying having like a reading race with me lol The book she is reading now is 7th grade level according to Book Adventure (an online quiz site) and she is even more determined now that she knows what level it is (can ya tell I'm proud? lol) She is trying to read all 4 of her books before I can read my latest lol I picked up Emma by Jane Austen at the library, so she's convinced since it looks almost twice as big as Pride and Prejudice that she can win lol We haven't decided on a "prize" yet if she is the winner, she keeps telling me she will let me know when she decides, apparently this requires some real serious thought ;) lol
I'm gonna shush, I've rambled more than enough ;) here is a pic I took of her this morning before school since we had time to fiddle with her hair a bit lol
Please keep my baby in your prayers!
