Dermoid Cyst

Rob and I took Grayson to a plastic surgeon at Children's Mercy last Thursday to have the bump on his face looked at. Dr. Jiang confirmed that it is a dermoid cyst-and will need to have a CT Scan done to find out anymore information.
We are going this Friday for the scan-and then will find out the results that afternoon. They are checking to see if the cyst has grown into the brain-which we hope that it hasn't-because that means we have an entire different situation on our hands which would include a neurosurgeon.
But if it hasn't grown into the brain-it will be a simple 45 minute procedure that will leave him with a black eye for a bit-but he's a tough guy-he can handle it.

So hopefully all goes well on Friday--momma is preparing herself for having Grayson be put under and have an IV put in him-this is the part of parenting that we aren't too excited about. I'll post when I know more!
