Good News from the Surgeons

We made the visit to both of the surgeons today. It was good news because they were both very quickly able to say that they are 99% sure the knot is just a cyst (a sebaceous cyst not the more common eye cyst - dermoid). So that was great news. And they both thought that it should be removed just because of where it is and how it is growing. So we are facing surgery with our little guy. It should be a fairly easy surgery. He will have general anesthesia but it will just be a day surgery. The recovery shouldn't be bad at all (although keeping a 3 year old from messing with his eye maybe the problem). We now have to decide which of the surgeons to go with (our insurance company may make the decision for us). We are looking at surgery sometime around the first of April.

Ben did great at both of the appointments. He really enjoys going to the doctor. I actually think he will enjoy the surgery experience because he loves new things (I say that now). Thank you all for praying for us today! It is nice to know what we are facing.

Here are the best pictures I could get of the place - did I mention that Ben does not like his picture taken (although they took pictures of it at one of the surgeons office and he loved those pictures. I guess it is just me he doesn't like taking his picture).
