Dee, good to get your response.
 
The mom is trying some other interventions first and I had been  dreading 
telling her the bump might need to be lanced (always happy to have some  back-up 
for that), not sure what her reaction will be or the doc's who  might balk at 
the notion of lancing it, in which case moms often resort to doing  it 
themselves. Mom had been encouraged to make an appt for a private  consult.
 
Thank you for the reply.
