Avery developed a tiny hemangioma a couple months ago on her leg and she had it removed today. The dermatologist said she did not have to get it removed, but we felt it needed to go as she was constantly guarding it and would not let anyone near it.
This morning before we went, we gave her a little present - new sunglasses - which she wore all morning even throughout the whole procedure. Needless to say she loved them. I saved a special cherry ring pop for her to suck on while the doctor was working.
The hemangioma was only about the size of a pin head. The doc first had to stick her with a needle to numb the area, which was the hardest part. I talked to her and held her down while Jaron held her legs and tried to keep her as still as possible. She cried and screamed for just a bit, but then was very brave for the cutting out and suturing. I think the whole ordeal was much harder for me as I had trouble sleeping last night and was teary eyed while the doctor worked. The whole procedure was only about 5 minutes long. The staff was great and gave her 3 stickers, making her very happy. She has been perfectly happy since we left and has not complained once.
