Plastic Surgery!?!

Lately anytime I'm out with Genevieve I keep getting asked the same questions. What happened to her eye? And Is that ever going to heal? Well for over two months now I haven't had an answer. This unsightly bump/bruise started out as a simple little teeny bump that resembled an ingrown hair or pimple. I left it be, thinking it would go away by itself as those things usually do. But when it grew to the size of a bee-bee and started to turn red then purple I took her into the doctor. Again, this was two months ago... They looked at it and we all assumed that she had somehow hit her face on something causing a small hematoma that needed draining. So Genny, like a champ, laid on her back and silently let them poke at it several times with a sterile needle. They drained the blood out and the size of the bump decreased significantly but the color of bruising never went away. So Friday after the size of the bump had, over time, increased again, I took Genevieve in again. They looked at it again and drained it again. Understandably, she wasn't as patient with them this time. Crying and panicking she endured the needle poke at her face once more. Poor thing. The nurse practitioner wanted the doctor to look at it one more time. She said as she was draining it, she could see it drain and then refill itself. So the doctor came in and took a real close look and figured out what it is. He said that it is a dermoid syst. Basically an oil gland that has no opening. He said that it probably got a slight infection and then was bled into with no way for draining. I asked what we do now, he said we get her into a good plastic surgeon. The whole gland sac needs to be removed from her face. If we don't remove it she'll end up with permanent scaring and discoloration and a need to go in for regular drainings. Needless to say I was in shock! First of all, Plastic Surgery!! It just sounds so Big. Then again, permanent scaring and discoloration on her beautiful face!! Not to mention routine pokes to her face with a needle! Even Bigger. So we'll be making an appointment sooner than later for sure. Who knew something so small could be such a Big deal? Poor kid!
