Update on the bump

The silver nitrate hasn't changed it one iota. So Ben will be heading under the knife for plastic surgery. He's scheduled for his plastic surgery consult on Tuesday the 22nd. Wednesday he has his pre-surgical screening and then he'll actually go into surgery on Tuesday the 29th. I have no idea how intense a procedure it will be yet, but he's going to the OR, so I'm guessing it'll be full anesthesia, which I'd expect considering I doubt there's any feasible way for a child to lay still on a table while someone cuts into his cheek and pokes around. No idea about how long it will take or how they'll close the incision. Will update the blog after our appointment on Tuesday.
By the way, Ben couldn't care less that he's having it done. :)

well at least HE's not worried! Nothing like having to watch your kid go under to totally freak a mom out. Hope its smooth sailing

He cracks me up so much. He's entirely indifferent to physical danger, but the invisible monster(s) in his bedroom worries him.
