I’ve managed to worry myself sick about this lump on Hailey’s forehead. The doctor shrugged it off and said to watch it. No referrals, nothing. Just “watch it and see if it gets any bigger”. Maybe I’m just high maintenance, but that’s not good enough for me. I also couldn’t understand a word she was saying about it and what it might be. Something about a cyst or a blood vessel? I’m frazzled. Eric is really worried about it too. We can’t tell if it’s staying the same or getting bigger. It seems to change all of the time. I can live with it on her forehead if it’s not going to cause any damage but since we don’t know that yet, it’s making me ill.
I’m also looking for a new pediatrician for her. I’m going to make some calls tomorrow. Although, I don’t know much about “interviewing” doctors. I don’t want to just choose the first one I call, I’ve already done that. I really need a second opinion here. I guess I’m looking for a doctor who will say, “let’s get her in to a specialist, just to be sure”. We’ve had enough things to worry about with this little one and she hasn’t even had her 3 month birthday yet. I know, we have a lifetime of worrying to do.
