Hello Cuties! Great and mostly good news on Nora!


The dr called today. She said they all studied Nora’s test and concluded there is no cancer or autoimmune disease present. Amen! That was our biggest worry.
Dr said Nora does have a lot of lymph nodes but not uncommon in CHILDREN. The 5 masses on the back of her neck are just swollen lymph nodes, NOT solid masses as we were told by radiologist here. Dr said earlier on Nora could have had an infection that went undetected and they are still swollen from that. (I had read they could be swollen for 6 weeks or more.) it has been longer than 6 weeks.
She still said though, the nodule between her thyroid glands will continue to be monitored. It’s very small right now and way too small to biopsy. Thank God.
She wants to see Nora again in 3 months. The chest X-ray showed a shadow behind the heart that wasn’t clear. She said it needs to be looked at again to see if something is,or is not, developing. May be too early to tell just what.
So we are so very thankful of all the good news and hope nothing develops any further with the nodule or the lungs. Prayers should be continued for this.
We have all been waiting anxiously but we don’t realize how the kids are anxious too. Nora’s little brother Gus cried when he heard Nora was going to be okay. They may have their sibling bouts but they do love each other.
Thank you, as I know you too are waiting to hear. It’s been a long process and a longer holiday weekend, just waiting for a call. Bless you all dear friends.❤️Toogie

So glad I came back to here to read. Stay diligent in Nora's care. Ask questions--plenty of them of all Dr's involved since you may get different information. Praise God for what you've received so far in her diagnosis.

This is wonderful news and prayers will continue. A person just wants to cry with relief. Bless little Gus, siblings can fight like cats and dogs, but when it comes to a crisis, they are there for each other. Many blessings.
