(Hopefully) Small set-back

Yesterday I noticed a lump on Ellis's left shoulder.  This is also where she had an infection over a week ago due to a pick line (large IV) that ended in her left shoulder.  She had five day's worth of antibiotics and it seemed that the infection was gone.  The doctor was concerned it had localized in the form of this lump last night, so she was started on some more antibiotics. All of her blood tests as of last night came back normal, which is encouraging.  We're hoping that the antibiotics will just knock out whatever the lump is, with no further poking and prodding.  It was a stressful night, knowing she had to be poked for blood and a new iv line, and not knowing what this lump is.  Plus, the last couple of days had been SO great, it was really hard to see her not feeling like herself.  Please pray for nothing serious to come of this and that it would be wiped out quickly so she can stop the antibiotics.  Thanks to all of you.
