Callie's Surgery

Callie went in for her second surgery on June 14th. She had tubes put into her ears at 9 months and this time she had a sebaceus nevus removed from her scalp. A nevus is a type of a birthmak some kids are born with, and this one left a quarter size bald spot on her head. Although the spot was not harmful at all, we decided that in the long run the chances of her being unhappy with it during her teen and adult years were pretty high so we opted for surgery now. She was a trooper and did great. By the afternoon she was relaxing on the couch playing on the Ipod and then even riding on her little car inside. I almost posted after pictures but thought I'd better wait till the stitches were out and it wasn't so icky looking.
