Michelle's Surgery 11/12/09

Michelle was born with a strawberry angioma. It was blood red but over the years skin grew over it and it became flesh color. Exactly what the doctors said it would do. This unfortunately was about 3 inches and a lot of people stare at it. She has wanted it taken off for along time. Last time she was here we were checking into it but the doctors didn't seem to want to do anything. We got a hold of a great plastic surgeon this time and he said he would work on it. Probably would take 2 surgeries to complete it.
This is her coming out of being put under. Gotta love that anesthesia. Ok she started vomiting and was sooo nauseous after coming out we had to stay for a extra 2 hours.

She was finally starting to feel a little better and thought it might finally be time to leave the hospital. Ok surgery was at 7:30am and this is at 1:30pm.



This is the day after. The stitches are on the inside and the tape covers the incision. Doctor will take off this Wednesday the 18th and check it out. By the looks of this I think he really got it a lot smaller than it was. We shall see in a few days. The bruising has now turned a pretty yellow and some slight blood from the operation.
