For once, my post isn't about my own health issues (or perceived ones) but about one of my kids.
My child (10 years old) developed a motor tic over the summer. We saw the doctor and when it didn't clear up they sent us for a CT scan.
I got the call from the doctor today that the CT was normal but that the adenoids were enlarged but unless they were causing problems could be left alone. But they also said that there were some lymph nodes in the neck that the radiologist recommended the doctor see in person.
And that set off my panic. Why do they need to be seen and felt? Why would the say the CT is normal but then add on these caveats? I feel so petrified right now. Dealing with health anixety about myself is one thing, but about my children is an entirely different beast. My mind is jumping to all kinds of worst case scenarios and I feel so panicked and lost.
I'm not even sure why I'm posting. I just feel scared for my baby.
Edit: we did all have a horrible cold at the end of September. Until about the 28-30th, I would say. Sore throats, the whole shebang. The CT was last week.
