I am concerned about Karyna's recent complaints. It's quite possible I am just reading too much into it, but I seem to worry about every little thing with her now since the dx of NF (neurofibromatosis).
She has been complaining a few days about her neck hurting. I gave her an ice pack thinking she may have slept on it wrong. But I think the lymph node is swollen, just on the one side. Now I worry that there's a neurofibroma growing in there. She also complains from time to time about her hamstrings and the backs of her knees hurting, particularly after lots of exercise (like PE days or Field Day)
I have noticed some new cafe au lait spots popping up and a few more small neurofibromas (not plexiform though) .
Do you think I should be concerned?
On a good note, she is doing great in school, finishing up Kindergarten .... wow 1st grade is coming! She has made so much progress this year - her incredible teachers have helped her to blossom in all areas. I just pray her teacher in 1st grade is just as awesome.
Thanks for listening and for any ideas you may have.

Hey hon, Do you think you should call her doc and maybe the doctor could give her a look over? If you're that worried, it wouldn't hurt. But then again, I am not familiar with neurofibromatosis so I really have no idea. Know I am praying for her, for her to feel better soon Love, Danielle

Has she been under any recent emotional stress? I always feel stress in my neck muscles. Just an idea.
