Swollen Lymph Node!!!
The doctor called this morning to discuss the ultrasound results with me and to my surprise she told me that it is NOT a hemangioma. In fact, it is a swollen lymph node. Of course, this was what we first thought when it happened but then getting the diagnosis from the pediatrician made us think differently. She did say that if it is red, irritating to him or hard, then we have to take another look at it. But since his is soft, squishy and can be rolled around on his neck, it is of no concern. They will check Drake again in a few weeks when he goes in for his 4 month appointment. We will just watch the lymph node carefully, but the idea that this is not a long-term condition is very relieving!
Thanks again for all your support, thoughts, and prayers. This is much better news than I thought we were getting and I'm so very grateful.

That is great news!! We are happy to hear it is just a swollen lymph node. Adam was beginning to think it was an evil twin.
Thank goodness!
