This past week has been a bit rough, which is why the pictures of Miles have not been updated recently.
Last Thursday morning, I woke at 1:30am feeling like I was being stabbed in my right upper abdomen. I had actually been having a dull pain there for over week, which I thought was muscular. Long story short, 1 doctor's visit, 1 chest X-ray and an ultra-sound later and the pain is much better but we still have no idea what was going on with me. Even though the ultra-sound did not show any gall stones, I still think that it is my gall bladder. Oh well. All we got from all these tests is the identification of a small hemangioma on my liver, which is basically irrelevant and nothing more than a birth mark. 10% of people have them and never know until they get an ultrasound for some other reason. They typically only cause pain when very large (>10cm). Mine is less than a cubic cm.
In better news, April 12
th was the 1 year anniversary of Drew's lymphoma diagnosis. He had a CT scan, which was painless. SO MUCH better than the PET scan last year in which Drew could not hold Miles for sleep next to me for 24 hours because of the radioactive glucose he had to ingest. Anyway, today we met with his oncologist and it was all good news. No signs of cancer and we don't have to go back for 6 months.
Finally, I am just
neurotic enough to worry that Miles has some sort of congenital disorder that would cause him to never get teeth. Well my fears were put to rest when he bit my finger last night during his bath. Finally, I felt the start of a little tooth poking through the gums! Pics soon, I promise.
