We saw the specialist today. The pathology report shows tissue pointing towards an infection or inflammation of the lymphnode. If we leave it alone, it could become more infected and then sort of "spill out" and the surgery to remove it would then be more invasive. Antibiotics are another option, but the infection may not respond to them. So, removal of the mass seems to be the best option. There are possible complications, as with any surgery. The mass will then be examined again to see if further treatment is needed. Whew! The surgery is scheduled for April 14, which works well for us because I had already planned a "Dawson and Mommy" weekend the weekend before his surgery.
Thank you so much for your prayers and concern.

Hi Barbara-
I'm so glad to hear that there is finally an answer and a plan for Dawson. I'm sure that this must be a relief to you. How sweet that weekend time will be for you and him before the big day. I'll continue praying!

Praise the Lord!!!
We our church family and staff have been praying for both you and Dawson...may the Lord heal this quickly for him that he can be up and about fast...
Do they have any idea what caused the infection? How cute that you were doing a weekend with him anyway. I am glad there is a definitive answer and that you have a date scheduled already. Keeping you in my thoughts!
So glad it is not more serious, but I know it is still scary for such a little guy!
