William's Doctor's Appointment

Today William had his follow up with the ENT for the bump on his neck. He has been on medicine for 10 days to see if it would go down. The doctor looked at it today, and although the medicine didn't help the bump go down, it did make the surrounding tissue go down making it more obvious to the doctor that it is, in fact, a Thyroglossal duct cyst. He is 99.9% sure, but suggested we have a CT Scan anyway. We have the CT Scan on Friday. He will call with the results on Tuesday. We are going to the beach for two weeks and will have the surgery when we get back on October 8. He said it was a major surgery, but outpatient and should only take an hour and a half. He said it's a little more serious than tonsils and adnoids, but he will be fine. He will have a small tube for drainage a few days after the surgery, but otherwise, it should be an easy recovery. Please keep him in your prayers!
