Looks like surgery is on the way...

Just to update my previous post... we had the ultrasound for Libby's bump on her eye and it's not a lipoma after all. It's a cyst that will grow, so will have to be removed. The doctor says it's nothing to worry about, but we don't want something so close to her eye to grow and possibly interfere with her vision. Not to mention that it will become unsightly. So, he recommended waiting to close to her 1st bday (Happy Birthday, Libby) to have it removed. It's a simple procedure for adults usually done in the doctor's office, but since she's a baby, they'll do it in the hospital. She won't be put under, but perhaps in "twilight land". We are trying to schedule an appt with the excellent surgeon he recommended, but wouldn't you know they don't take our insurance (which is actually a PPO plan). Go figure...

  1. well that will be good to have it removed. I am sure Libby will be happy you did when she is older. She is already such a beauty though!
    Good thing they rechecked it. :)
