Confirming the diagnosis

We took Jack to the neurologist before our vacation (a vacation post is coming, I'm just going crazy trying to get things ready for his birthday party and he's sick). We looked at him under a wood's lamp (AKA: a black light) and found lots of these skin spots on him. This is his left foot under the light.


Here is his leg in normal light.

You would never know that he has these without the lamp. We finally found a good reason to be so fair skinned! I can see the one on his forehead now without the lamp but I think it's just because I know it's there. And his bangs will cover it anyways so it's nothing to worry about. We will be putting on lots of sun screen this summer!

We also went to the cardiologist today. Jack has 3 tumors on his heart. They are very small and we are told that they are nothing to worry about because his heart is functioning perfectly. Really they are more confirmation that he does in fact have TS. We go back in a few months to get them re-checked and hopefully they will shrink away. Chances are they were bigger when he was smaller.

In the mean time, I'm off to take Jack to the pediatrician because he's sick. The poor baby has a fever, runny nose, cough, and is super cranky. He just sits in my lap and moans. Hopefully he will be feeling up for his party on Saturday.
