This Spot...


...should be a little smaller after tomorrow! Kenz has her first surgery on her Aplasia Cutis area on her head. Tomorrows surgery is a little more nerve racking for us because the doctor has to cut thru the veins that are exposed on her head. He called them the branches off the tree trunk. He isn't concerned about the branches because these branches aren't tied to anything. But, he is very concerned because the tree trunk is connected to the main artery in her head. With that scary piece of news and the fact that veins are elastic and once cut could withdraw back into her skull, we will have the best neurosurgeon scrubbed up and ready on stand-by in case anything happens! We trust our doctor immensly and know that Children's Hospital is the best! But....she's still our beautiful little girl that has to go thru this.
Can you tell - she looks concerned!?
