This morning Lucas had a Dr appointment to look at his neck. After she saw the bump and felt it (it is squishy and moves a bit) she determined that the bump is a big lymph node. Apparently lymph nodes are the "drainers" of bacteria and can sometimes get swollen when it is draining any infection you may have. Recently Luke had a fever and was not feeling well and right now we all have a bit of the sniffles, so that could be the reason it is so swollen.
She measured it and said if it was not gone in a month -or if it looks red or irritated- to come back in. It doesn't seem as Lucas even knows it is there, so hopefully it will be gone very soon and we can stop worrying about it. =)

I will never forget the time Dylan had an infected lymphnode! It was huge and it got so big practically overnight! We were shocked. Hope he feels better real soon!
Hi there! My son Kyle has had that happen to his lymphnodes a couple of times too. I am glad to have found your blog, your page is adorable! I will stop by and browse around when I have a spare moment...take care!
