Minor Surgery

Sicily has had a rather large wart growing out of her left nostril for almost 2 years now. It hasn't been that big of a deal, but it's started to get bigger and was looking more and more like a permanent bugger every day. So we took her to a few Dermatologists who mostly said the only thing they could do was freeze it off. Like I was going to let them put my 3 year old through that kind of torture.

In the end we found a wonderful Pediatric Dermatologist who said they could just cut it out, no stitches and it'd be healed in less than a week. So Jared and I went together to the Medical Center with our little Sicily. They were the sweetest people ever. Talked to her, visited with her, let her watch Tinkerbell while we waited our turn. The Dermatologist, Anesthesiologist and the Nurse all came in and introduced themselves to her so she wouldn't be scared. Then they wrapped her up in her favorite Bear Blanket and she walked right into surgery with them, leaving Mom and Dad behind.

They gave her a little sleeping gas and less than 30 mins later we came back in to this. She only slept about 15 mins after we got back with her, and then woke a little groggy but more or less ok. They even left her little Bear Blanket with her while she slept.As we waited in the recovery room she asked me, "Am I going to sleep? Is the Dr going to fix my wart?" She was so cute, she had no idea that she'd already been asleep and it was all done.
It's been a good few weeks now and the little tiny scab that was all that was left is totally healed. We'll go back in in about a month so the Dr can make sure it's not growing back. But otherwise, we're done. Simple as that.
