Bye, Bye Mole

Ella was born with a Congenital Nevis (a.k.a a mole) on her lower back. It had a smaller, eraser size dark mole in the center of the main mole. After discussions with her pediatrician and a dermatologist, it was decided that the best course of action would be to remove it to avoid any risk in the future. This was, of course, a hard decision for us as it would involve her being put under general anestesia.




Waiting patiently for her turn.
She did amazing! Her surgery was scheduled for 8:45am and she was not allowed to eat anything after 5am. She was such a trooper, and only started to get fussy at about 8:45, which was naptime for her too. Luckily, that was the time they came to get her. Her surgery went well, and she woke up happy! We were really worried about the pain she would feel after the drugs wore off, but she never even fussed later in the day! Good job Ella!!!
