When Mitch was around 3 months, we noticed a small mole on his right hand. Over time, this birth mark just kept growing and spreading. The Dermatologist recommended that it be removed just to be on the safe side and for cosmetic reasons, as well. Little Mitch went in for his surgery today and he did so good! He didn't even cry when he was wheeled into the operating room. He had to go under anethesia, which was a little scary. The hospital had lots of toys he could play with as we got him checked in. A side effect of the anesthesia is to wake up grumpy. Mitch was pretty upset when he woke up, but that all went away with a little ice cream in the cafeteria. When we got home, Mitch went right to sleep and took a 4 hour nap. He woke up happy and very accepting of his bandage that he'll need to wear for 2 weeks. He has been so good with his bandage and such a big boy. Now he is kissing his boo boo to make it feel better.
