Addie Kate had surgery this morning to remove a spot behind her ear. We had originally thought the spot was a birthmark until last week when it filled with fluid. We took her to her pediatrician last Thursday and he referred us to a plastic surgeon for Friday. The plastic surgeon went ahead and scheduled surgery to remove the spot for this morning (Tuesday).
The doctor and the surgeon both were unsure about what the spot was but said we would rather play it on the safe side. The surgeon did an excellent job and even prayed with us before the procedure. The incision is about 2 cm long and she has stitches internally and externally.
Addie Kate did so well. We were worried because she could not eat for six hours before the surgery, but she was so intrigued by all the new people (nurses and doctors) that she barely noticed. When we were finally able to see her after the surgery, we could hear her screaming walking through the first of two double doors. She was mad. She finally calmed down and has been doing wonderfully ever since. She really is such a trooper!! She even got some new toys and flowers out of it.
Mom and Dad are so grateful it is over. God is so faithful in every area of our lives. We all three are ready to take a long nap and to relax after our very early morning!!!
