Making closure

Jason and I were enjoying a leisurely Saturday morning with nowhere to go when we received a pair of notes slipped under our door.

Sarcastic much?


We've decided to call off the endless saga of Ada's head lumps.  Though unwilling to make an official diagnosis, the last specialist we saw (the specialist one of all) did at last give us the name of a condition--one with an entry on RareDiseases.org, no less.


Subcutaneous granuloma annulare is a rare form of a condition you've never heard of.  Other forms cause rashy skin lesions, but this form apparently causes weird lumps that make every doctor in the state scratch their head, but will cause no harm and eventually go away on their own.


So we've trekked all over the place, reviewed waiting rooms all over the region, and racked up some more pretty medical bills to learn a fifty-cent word and decide to do nothing.


To be less cynical, we also performed due diligence to be reasonably sure our second child doesn't have a malignant tumor.


Which is a good way to spend time and money, if somewhat anticlimactic at the end.
