Surgery Results

We met with Claire's surgeon today to go over test results from her surgery. He read the results and the only thing I understood on my own was the word  BENIGN. :) The tissue in her neck was healthy tissue, just in the wrong place. However, it would have kept growing as she grew and got older, so she would've had to live with a big lump in her neck or a small scar. So, good news! Movin on...

A few pics of the incision area. This one is where they marked before surgery. It's actually underneath that circle, but she has her head tilted back.

Here it is post surgery with the steri strips on.

Here's how it looks when the steri strips were removed. The surgeon said to keep it covered when we're in the sun long periods because sometimes scars will darken when exposed to sunlight. She still has stitches underneath the skin which makes the scar a little puffy. They will dissolve in time.
