Doctor Unexpectedness

We headed to the doctor for Reid's 4 year check-up, but ended up making Micah's 6 year check-up as well, in addition to a sick visit due to some swelling in his cheek. This swelling has happened 4-5 times over the last couple of years so we thought it was pertinent to check it out as it's quite painful for him when it swells. Our pediatrician sent us for a cat scan at Delnor ($1500 later!) and it was diagnosed as a parotid gland swelling, and a more specific term I can't remember. We are being referred to an ENT to take a closer look at what's going on since this has become a common reoccurence and hopefully we can figure out some preventative measures to help this not happen as frequently. Stay tuned...
