Yesterday afternoon, I took Stephan, my 16 year old son, to see a doctor after he had been complaining about some bumps on his neck under his chin. Those bumps, along with one on his shoulder at the base of his neck and others in the groin area turned out to be lymph nodes. As it turns out, Stephan has had these enlarged nodes for over a year - he just decided to tell us since they were sore (boy, did he get a chewing on this one from me).
The doctor had blood work done and suggested we go to the nearby hospital for additional tests and a possible biopsy. When the nurse came back to discuss our appt at the hospital with Radiology, Stephan made a point of telling her, "anytime after 3:00!" I tried to explain to him that this may be out of our control. He continued to be adament about the "after school" time - it turns out, if he has perfect attendance for the school year, the school will give him $40 - I wish my school had bribed me when I was still going!
The nurse came back with an appointment for next Wednesday at 7:30am (needless to say, Stephan was not happy)! I told him, for my peace of mind, I would be happy to pay the $40 at the end of school!!!!!
Please pray for Stephan and the family as these tests wait before us! Pray for the doctors as they administer the tests and give us the results!
