In addition to all of the excitement yesterday, Jacob also had his Pyogenic Granuloma removed. If you consider Jeremy and I holding Jacob down while he screamed like no other, going well, then it went well.
Also, Grand Rapids Fire Department was doing training down the street from the Dr. office. And Kentwood Fire Department was checking hydrants - every time they'd stop to check one, they would turn on all the lights on the Fire Engine, and we were just down the street from one of the biggest hospitals in the area and saw about a dozen ambulances. We also saw four Michigan State Police cars! Yet it wasn't quite enough to distract Jacob from the task at hand.
Before:
(the surrounding area is red as we also found that Jacob has a slight allergy to bandage adhesive)
After:
They gave 2 shots to numb the area, snipped off the "bubble" (as Jacob calls it), and cauterized it (that is tops on my list of favorite smells!). Jacob asked why they put his bubble in the baby bottle. And he now refers to this area as "my hole". Though the "ban-bain" is off, he won't allow us to touch it. We can only look - after we PROMISE not to touch.
It's healing uncovered for now. We haven't had any issues with spotting and Jacob hasn't complained about any pain. I think he has had a few moments of discomfort - many of uncertainty with it but, he's doing just fine!
