Yesterday was the day I took Emmersyn to the eye specialist about her cyst. I was a little nervous as to what he would say, but I was assured he was the BEST with pediatric eye care in the area. And of course, there's always the unknown of how a baby will react, but Em was a champ! She was smiling and happy. She got her eyes dialated without a whimper, let them touch, poke, examine and look into her eyes without moving. CHAMP I tell ya! Now, I only say this, because I forget what it's like to get that much satisfaction from taking a kid to the doctor! I'm use to Teagan who would have fought the drops, cried after them, and then informed the nurse how to do it next time! HA
Anyways, Dr. Franklin agreed with the pediatrician. It is definately a deroid cyst. It will NOT go away without surgery and will continue to get bigger. Does it have to come out right this second? He said probably not. He did say the longer we wait, the bigger it will be, and the bigger the scar will be. He also thinks that it won't involve neurosurgery at all and that it is just on top of the bone! YAY! Matt and I are thinking we will probably get it done before #3 gets here and the new craziness begins. I know how crazy life gets with a newborn for a while and add to that holidays, birthdays, and 2 other kids and I'm just afraid if we waited, it would be put off longer than we want!
Other than the cyst, Dr. Franklin said her eyes were great! YAY! Matt and I neither one have any eye issues, but it is nice to have the seal of approval.
