Last week, I noticed that Kyle's left leg looked swollen out to the side at the calf. When it still looked swollen this Monday, we decided we better check into it - especially since the left leg is the same one that had the clot when he was a week old. I made an appointment at the pediatrician's for Tuesday afternoon. My mom took him to the appointment and was told that they could not determine what it was there in the office so they said he needed to go to the All Children's Emergency Room. Chris and I both left work immediately when we got word from Mom.
After nearly 5 hours at the emergency room, an x-ray and an ultrasound, the doctors came in with the diagnosis: Lipoma. Essentially, he has a deposit of fat in that one area on his left leg. They said as long as it doesn't get any larger, change color or become painful to the touch, we don't need to worry. So all that worry and stress was for a hunk of fat!
