Most of you know that Payton has a mass on her back. Its a hemangioma, which isn't harmful and will go away on its own by the times shes about 5. When they did the MRI to find out what the mass was they found something else on her spine, a Syrinx. To confirm, they did a second MRI. A syrinx is fluid in the spinal cord. They aren't sure what caused it or where the fluid came from, most likely a birth defect, but they will have to monitor her every year to see if it changes. For now we feel very blessed that they found it. It was by chance that they did and now we can make sure she doesn't have any long term affects from it. You would never know she had anything wrong with all the energy that she has.
