A Check on Some Minor Swelling

This morning we took Greyson over to St. John's to have an ultrasound on what I am calling "mini buddy" for lack of a better name. We noticed some swelling starting on Sunday morning and have been taking pictures of it since then. I sent Dr. Jiang an email at noon yesterday and he responded within 15 minutes. By 2pm he had talked with me on the phone, through email, and text. He called our pediatrician and the pharmacy and got Greyson lined up to have the ultrasound this morning at 7:30am and prescribed an antibiotic.
Greyson did a great job at the ultrasound and let the technician do her job with very little fussing. Think he thought her screen was a TV just for him again. On our way home from the appointment (9:00am) Michael and I were making bets on how quickly we would hear from someone - Michael bet 11am and I said 10:15am. Dr. Jiang had the results called us back by 9:15am. Wow, he is amazing - he is all about keeping lines of communication open. We are so lucky to have great doctors like him on Greyson's team.
So all is well. There are some cysts filling up with fluid (always a possibility) but nothing major now so no need to do anything. We will see Dr. Jiang when we take Greyson back to KC for his compression garment fitting most likely next week. Looking forward to seeing how they helps with the swelling in his chest but also in his hand and arm. Pictures to come.
