Surgery

Campbell had minor surgery today to remove on a bump on the inside of her bottom lip. Her pediatrician had referred us to an ENT doctor & he recommended removing it as the bump was getting quite big. He said it was a mucocele, which is a blocked saliva duct.

I was really nervous about the surgery since they had to put her under anesthesia. But, the doctors & nurses did a great job at the hospital making us feel comfortable about the procedure & it was a good experience considering the circumstances. Probably the hardest part was when the nurses took her away & she was crying pretty hard, but they said that she settled down once she was in the operating room.

She did good coming out of the anesthesia, just a little groggy & fussy for a little bit. She has a couple stitches, but they don't seem to be bothering her. She was her happy self later in the day.

Here's a picture of us waiting for the surgery. She liked the little hospital pajamas because they had bears & rocket ships on them.
