    update

    They have found a lump on her skull in the back and two spots on her right chest. These are from the CT scan. My sister is a wreck. I am feeling really weird. I am numb right now. I am trying to keep posative thoughts..but it is hard when I hear my sister's grief on the phone. I am trying I really am.
    My brother said he is never going to think he's life sucks ever again. Considering what our family is going through right now.
    I am hoping this mass is just a cyst that is causeing the swelling. I really hope!
    They are at one of the best hospitols for children right now so I am hopeful when it comes to that.

    Brandi, it seems that your perspective will have a stabilizing effect for your sister. Hang tight, keep us posted, and focus on the positives that you note.

    I'm encouraged that your niece is not uncomfortable or unhappy.

    It's interesting that all the really serious things noted are accompanied by pain and the less serious ones have benign symptoms.

    I have gone to a few sites and tried to find something. I some point I had to stop reading. It causes wild idea's sometimes. Thank you! You are great to keep commenting. For some reason you posting on this thread is giving me comfort. I know you two have kids. And can relate maybe. Hopefully you have never had to go through anything like this.
    But wait that's right Mrs silver was in an accident not that long ago. But I don't know when it is your small child....

    brandi, hang in there. yes, we have two kids. this is soooo scary. I can't say that we have been through something just like this, but similar things. more often I've been in situations where I couldn't do anything except be the sounding board and the "gather-er" of information and the voice of calm.

    I know that you are not there. Don't panic when looking at information. maybe you can gather a list of questions for your sister to ask the doctors.

    if you need to scream or vent or anything, let us know.
