After a long and painful wait, we had our follow-up appointment with the specialist on new year's eve. It wasn't a happy new year for us because he scheduled Ethan for surgery the following Tuesday to have the lump in his neck removed. He'd be admitted in the morning and would even have to be put under anesthesia. This was no small procedure for a year and a half old baby. I was a mess over it and wasn't exactly in the mood to ring in the new year with any celebration and went to bed before midnight. I couldn't believe we went from ear infection to biopsy with literally nothing in between. We have been just sitting on our hands for the last two months with not even a blood test or urine sample. The specialist (Ear Nose & Throat specialist) never even examined Ethan to any great extent. I wanted to scream. The doctor assured me this was necessary which to me, made me think he made his mind up on what it was which didn't require a test....
