Medical Mystery

Today was Brady's 9 month checkup. Brady weighed in at 16 lbs 8 oz and 28" long. He is still on the lowest end of the curve possible for weight, however, he is still on the same growth curve as he's been on, so no worry from the doctor. Of course we'll continue to keep a close eye to make sure he's gaining enough. For the most part Brady got a glowing report...meeting all milestones, etc. However, I asked the doc about the small lump on Brady's belly. I had brought it up several months ago when I first discovered it to the P.A. while we were there for one of Brady's ear infections. She seemed a little stumped but her first guess was a hernia and wasn't of concern, but we would just monitor it to make sure it didn't grow. But when the pediatrician looked at it, he immediately ruled out the lump being a hernia. But he was stumped. He stared at it, felt it, stared some more. And just was basically speechless. He said wellll, I don't even know where to start with diagnosing this. Great. He then called in another doctor in the group to take a look and she was stumped as well. He didn't think it would show up on a sonogram so didn't think we should go that route. He thought perhaps it is a cyst, even though the lump is underneath the skin. So, he referred us to a dermatologist. Not sure how I feel about seeing a dermatologist for a lump that isn't even on his skin, but I guess we'll start there and see. So now we wait a month for that appointment. In the mean time more worrying. Can we just get a healthy Brady?? PLEASE!
But to end on a cute note...Brady has started giving kisses. If you ask for kisses and lean in your cheek he opens his mouth and "kisses" your cheek. This boy makes my heart melt on a daily basis.
