Does this shirt make my cyst look big?

Many of you have been asking how Kelsie's lump is doing. It seems to be doing rather well. It has gotten a bit bigger and invited a little lump friend to visit next door. No worries though. The doctor still does not seemed at all concerned. She has a follow-up visit (aka a way for them to milk me out of another $250) at the end of July. He said that we would schedule the surgery before the end of the year.



We were having some fun with the camera, so I thought I would get a better picture of it now that it is a nice purpleish color. Kelsie thought it was the funniest thing when I told her to look up. Fun times at the Rigby home!

Anyhow...nothing to worry about still, so Grandma, you can get some sleep. Thanks for all the concerns though. It's good to have so many people who care.

Rigby Family Roughing It

Since Mama and Papa Rigby are no longer in Ojai, we actually had to do something besides go visit them for the long weekend. Luckily, one of the boy scout camps was open for all the "Friends of Scouting" for the weekend. We had a blast. If the weather had cooperated a little bit better, it would have been perfect. This was the first time we had the chance to go camping as a family for more than one night. It was a good thing we were there for longer than one night, because the first night was a NIGHTMARE! I don't think Kelsie slept for more than 15 minutes at a time the entire night. Sorry to all our fellow campers! She did great the other 2 nights, though, so we may just go back again!



Tyson LOVED LOVED LOVED archery. We lucked out that not too many people were usually there, so he got to shoot as much as he wanted. He was a pretty good shot, too. He didn't really understand the concept of aiming, but some how seemed to get the arrow pretty close to the target most of the time. Mom and Dad didn't do to shabby either!

His second favorite activity was shooting the BB (I have no idea if that is how you write it) guns. I wasn't sure how I felt about the whole gun thing for my 4-year-old, but he loved it and I don't think it is going to change him for life!

We had great food, great company and a great time all around. We hear they do it again on Labor Day weekend. We can't wait!

Kelsie's Bump

A few months ago, we noticed a big hard bump on Kelsie's neck. We hoped it was just a swollen gland or something that would go away after some time. After about 2 months, we took her to the doctor. He said it was some kind of cyst that would need to be removed. So we trucked on over to the Ear Nose Throat specialist. He confirmed that it was a bump ( I'm sure he used some technical term, but I don't remember what it is...I know that it meant "bump" in medical jargon) and that it would need to be removed. We are scheduled to have an ultrasound this afternoon and then we will schedule the surgery. Before you all get too worried, neither of the doctors seemed concerned at all. It is just something that needs to be taken care of before it causes any infections, but I was told, "It is nothing to be worried about." Just thought I would post it in the name of keeping everybody informed. I tried to get a good picture of it, but I don't know if you can see it or not. Anyway, I'll let you know more when I know more.
