Our medical saga continues

So, in addition to Lincoln's "suspicious" mole that he's having checked out on April 29th my dentist discovered something in my mouth today that is "potentially pre-cancerous but most likely just excess tissue" that needs to be removed and biopsied. I haven't called for an appointment yet but I will shortly. I just left the dentist office and she referred me to an oral specialist. On top of that the dentist also looked at Hannah's teeth and she said that while Hannah probably does grind/clench her teeth (which is common in kids) she doesn't show any wear or tear on her teeth and therefore the headaches are unlikely to be caused by that. My next step is to take her to see an eye doctor although her pediatrician said that probably isn't necessary since she passed both her pediatrician's eye exam and the school eye exam but I'd rather rule that out before subjecting her to a neurologist which is the pediatrician's next suggestion. I suppose I'll probably end up making both the eye and the neurologist appointments at the same time just so we don't have to wait but hopefully the eye doctor will say her headaches are caused from that. Who knows. I'll keep you all updated.
