A bump in the, um, morning

So, we are off to Winnipeg tomorrow and of course the kids have to fall apart - physically. Look carefully at the photo at Sophia's forehead. It may not be as visible in the photo, but it is GIANT in real life. I was in the shower this morning and came out mid shower to see what the crying was about. I initially thought it was Dylan fussing because I was more than 2 feet away from him. Then I got concerned when I learned it was Sophia in tears. She came closer and I couldn't see what was wrong at first as her bangs were covering her forehead. Then I saw IT. Giant lump on her pretty little face. I went into panic mode as I haven't had to deal with a serious injury with the kids yet. After icing her head she seemed fine, but I felt like crying every time I looked at her.
Later in the day she had a bunch of poops (not like her) so I thought it was related to her bump in some odd medical way. After a call to the doctor they recommended she come in with our pending trip. This, was our second trip to the doctor in as many days! Yesterday we were there to look at the red lump under Sophia's eye (only a cyst, phew). So, I was putting a warm cloth on her eye, then a cold one on her forehead all day.
So, off we will go tomorrow, lump on the head, one under the eye, rash on both bums and a little diarrhea for both kids to make the flight a little more interesting. Sighhhhhh.
