A-OK!

Thank God for answered prayers! Lauren's doctor called today and her x-ray showed that the knot is just a bony mass, not a cyst, lymph node or tumor, and that it's not bothering any other parts of her neck. I made her clarify, twice, that it wasn't life threatening and that we shouldn't be worried about it. She assured me that it was nothing to worry about right now, that we would watch it, and that she didn't expect it to cause any problems.

So, you know, she's starting the whole scaring-her-parents-over-nothing thing early. We knew she was smart, but this kind of advanced can wait. (hehe)

Relieved...so very very relieved. Thank you to everyone who sent a good thought or prayer our way. We really appreciate it!

I love her. :)
