Bittersweet last day with Josh

Josh returns tomorrow. BLEH! The day was nice with some junk mixed in.
I woke up and found Josh, the girls and our van missing. I called Josh and he said they went on a Krispy Kreme run. YAY! We dropped off the girls at preschool, ran some errands and took Andrew to a new restaurant in town that is a lot like Chuck E Cheese but with better food (not great, but better). This evening Andrew wanted to build a fort, pop popcorn and put in a movie. It was nice.
Now the not so nice part. The girls have had some physical differences since we brought them home. We've kind of joked about getting them baby bras. This can be normal up to one year of age. It has something to do with residual hormones from the mother or something. One year came and went and the problem remained. The pediatrician recommended we wait a little longer mostly because one year isn't a hard and fast rule.
At the two year check up the pediatrician decided to talk to an endocrinologist about it. He called me back in wanting to test the estrogen levels in the girls. Apparently this can be an sign that the girls will enter puberty too early! We had the blood work done and the doctor called me tonight with the results. Leah's estrogen levels are too high but Leila's fell in the normal zone. The endocrinologist wants to have BOTH girls get a pelvic ultrasound to look for ovarian cysts or follicles. Yikes. I asked that both girls don't have them done at the same time because I can't hold one down for the ultrasound and manage the other. I'll be called Thursday with the ultrasound appointment times.
Meanwhile Andrew is having some issues. Three days ago he walks in and shows us this lump in his chest. I thought maybe a lymphnode and made an appointment. We saw the doctor yesterday and he measured it at 5cm. He is perplexed. It is not a lymphnode. He left to confer with a collegue and read up on some endocrinology book. He came back and said for now we'll do blood work and see what that says. One of the tests takes about a week. The rest less than that. If the results are normal then we'll be refered on to a pediatric endocrinologist. The closest one is about 90 miles away. The last resort will be to remove it and biopsy it. Andew is VERY nervous about that idea (the pediatrician thought if he spelled surgeon Andrew wouldn't understand - silly, silly man).
Meanwhile my surgery is scheduled for December 14th. I've got 5 weeks covered with help. Doctor said allow 6 weeks but oh well. I'm young so I think I'll be ok in 5 weeks.
I'm a bit overwhelmed but I know I'll get through this. Like I've said before, life is full of trials. Everyone has them. How you respond to them defines you as a person.
It will all be ok. :)
