Jace's Surgery






On November 1st, Jace has to have some minor surgery at the hospital. It was a big deal for a small thing. He went to the OR, they gave him general anesthetic and everything! He had to have a freckle removed from the palmer surface on a finger. It was right over the joint. He also has a spitz nevus removed from his face. (Spitz nevus looks like a red mole, but they have a tendency to turn malignant). He was so brave! The nurses had a hard time getting the I.V. started, they dug and dug around in the back of his poor little hand. He was tough. After two attempts, Daddy finally told the nurse to start it in the OR. Since it was a Saturday (and because Daddy is on staff at the hospital) we got to wait in recovery with him. He woke up to an impressively large finger bandage and a "cast" on his other hand (to stabilize the IV). We just found out that he has to have this face re excised due to the fact that a high percentage grow back. He has assured us that he will be fine!
