| Josiah waiting to get his "bump" removed. Pacifier: check ....... Blanket: check |
Here are a few highlights from our day:
- Jake got to combat Boston traffic at 6 am. Hooray! We were only 7 minutes late for our check-in time of 8 am, which isn't too bad when considering how many cars were on the road with us!
- The doctor told us that Josiah's cyst was of a pyramid shape, about .75in at its base. It didn't have any tracts connected below the skin, which could have been problematic. His incision site was very shallow on the skin.
- Josiah got a "Bomas" balloon. He is enthused with Thomas the Tank Engine. Naturally, this balloon made his day.
- The doctors and nurses were so kind and professional. They made a point to seek us out and inform us on every little detail. I've been thoroughly impressed by Boston Children's Hospital during all three of my visits regarding this surgery.
- Did I mention we got to go home right away? Yes! We were so happy we did not have to entertain our recovering toddler-patient in his hospital bed. He had surgery by 10 am and we were home by 2 pm!
- Josiah is doing well. He's easily frustrated and more fussy than usual, but that's his cue for us that he's uncomfortable. Again, we are grateful because he is in a lot less pain than expected!
