Don't tell me that!

Words you don't want to hear when you take your son to the doctor, " It's most likely just a virus that will have to run its course.  Keep doing what you are doing."

My son has been running a temp. since early Monday morning.  Kids generally have high temps but he really hasn't had one this high before.  Tylenol was keeping it down but it just hasn't been going away.  Then last night I find a lump on the back of his head towards the base of his skull that was squishy and moved.  So I decided we were going to the doctor.  I figured it was a lymph node but wanted medical professionals to confirm it.

Sure enough swollen lymph node which I was told can get larger in children than adults and he has a virus.  Don't get me wrong I think it was $20 well spent.  I would much rather be the over paranoid mom than overlook something very serious.  I would just rather he not be sick at all.  So here's to praying he gets better soon or I have to take him back Friday if he is still running a fever.
