Update on Amaya

I posted Thursday about starting Amaya on antibiotics. On Friday the lump under her skin in her neck had grown so after talking to our doc at Riley we decided to go see him on Friday. He was perplexed as to why it had returned this time because he had completely tied off the tract that was supposedly causing the lumps or cysts in the first place.
He stuck a needle in the lump to see if he could draw any puss or fluid out. Nothing came out which is good. He explained that the tissue was just inflamed - causing the lump. He also noticed what looked like one of the stitches poking through the skin. They were supposed to dissolve but didn't so that is potentially what the infection is from....which would mean that it's not same thing as before...Praise God!

It is good to hear some potentially good news (meaning it's not the same as the original infection).
Have you ever wondered when you're finally going to get some good news about a situation? It can be trying at times.
