Latest on the "bump"

We met with Dr Joseph today, the neurosurgeon, and we both really liked him. He was matter of fact about everything and answered all our questions.

He agrees that it appears to be a dermoid cyst and does need to be removed. No rush, but long term it could put pressure on his brain if left untreated. He will do the surgery and it's handle out patient which made me feel better. Mama doesn't want to have to leave her baby at the hospital if she doesn't have too! He said we could just call and make an appointment so we'll probably try to set a date in late Oct. I guess if your a brain surgeon most other surgeries are simple and the doctor seems to think this will be a pretty simple, painless procedure.

We'll keep everyone updated once we start moving forward with the surgery but for now we are focusing on trying again for our beach vacation the end of Sept!
