Prayers for Avery - Update

I have never been more validated in my feelings about listening to my gut, and my boys than I was on Friday.

I took Avery into the doctor to see Dr. Javandi (Dr. G has Avery says his name). He examed Avery completely.. then had him stand on the table in his birthday suit to get a look at his back... he noticed a blue spot (very fant) and asked if I saw it too.. I did, it touched and felt around and thought it was a hematoma but under the skin, and was going to get another opion from another dr. In came Dr. Rosbach. Both of them examed Avery, felt the spot, moved the spot.

They said basically they believe it is a cluster of blood vessels (hemotoma) that has come up to the skin. Normally it won't affect anything unless it was affecting the bone/causing pain... if that was the case then surgery would be invovled to remove it. Then he said the T word, he said it would be called a tumor as any type of mass would but that it was begnin... because of the blood work done the week before it should all of his levels perfect so we didn't have to worry about the "C" word. A blessing from God.

So the next step, Avery is scheduled for a sedated MRI (gulp) on Sept 26th at 7am.
