Bye Bye Bump

Remember "the bump"?  Well today it went bye bye.  We decided to have the bump removed.  It was a "simple" day surgery procedure.  I say "simple", but whenever your child will be having surgery, of any kind, I don't think "simple" is a great word to use. 

Last night we went over everything he would see and do today.   The surgical group had a virtual tour that we used to tell him all about the procedure.  He was in and out fast.  He had a small defect in his abdomen wall and little fat cells had pushed through causing the bump.  The Dr. removed the cells and fixed the defect.

Here we are waiting to be called.


Getting our vitals checked


In our gown


Post surgery and having a grape popsicle.  Not a very happy boy at this moment, but Mommy and Daddy were thrilled!


Happier to have IV out and PJ's back on.



Ready to head to the car and go home.


Here is his dressing.  He can't take it off for 5 days and has to take it easy of the rough housing with Dad for a while.

The BUMP, more follow-up

Remember the BUMP? We have the ultrasound results and it is a benign lymph node. So for now we watch and wait.

The Bump - ultrasound

Remember "the Bump" from 2 weeks ago? Well today we went to Dell Chrildren's hospital to get an ultrasound of it. Since Daddy is a Seton employee, we went to the cafeteria for a little snack. Christian couldn't help but sing "Apple Annie" the entire time he was holding this apple. Then later after he had eaten some of it, he told me "I ate Apple Annie's bottom off." LOL! The things kids will say.
