Claire is a trooper. We took her in to the Riley Outpatient Center to get this curious little patch removed from her scalp. She's had it since she was born. There's some big scientific name for it, but I can never remember how to pronounce it. Anyway, the dermatologist said that we should probably have it removed because studies show that it could be cancer-causing if left alone. So rather than wait until she's older, we decided to take care of it now, when she didn't really realize what was happening and definitely wouldn't remember it.
Claire did really well. The only part that she didn't like was when they forced her to wake up after the surgery. She just wanted to sleep! She let us all know how she felt about that. They wanted her to be able to drink something before she left, but we were denied every time we tried to give her some juice. They discharged us and, once we got to the car, Claire sucked down an entire cup's worth of juice. Apparently it was safer to drink in the car.
Thankfully, Claire is passed out now. It's been a really long day for her. And she's sleeping with her new little bumble bee that Grandma Musick and Sophia picked out for her while she was in surgery. So sweet. Thanks to all for the prayers!
