Another Cyst

No, its not me this time.  This time it is Lauren.  We got the results of her ultrasound yesterday.  She has a small cyst on her left ovary.  She is a little freaked out.  It’s perfectly understandable after watching what her bio mom and I both went through.  And we ultimately had to have hysterectomies.  So I am sure she is worried that is going to be her fate.  To be 17 and having that looming over her head is probably really scary.  I know I would be freaked out. 

Her cyst is a pretty common thing.  Taking care of it will be an easy process as well.  She will be on the pill for the next six months to get her body in sync.  The doc thinks that that is what is causing her cyst.  Then at the end of December she will go back in for another ultrasound to see if it worked or not. 

In the mean time this girl is ‘tude city.  I never in my wildest dreams thought that the 14 year old attitude would creep back into our lives until Rachel got there.  But no!  Our 17 year old is a mess.  I don’t know if it is all the “adult” changes going on with school, college, friends, health, etc.  But whatever it is needs to stop or else she is sleeping in the backyard in a tent for a while
