Carsons Surgery








About a year ago Carson asked me what a marble was doing in his cheek? A little freaked out I felt around and sure enough there was a bump about the size of a marble that rolled around in there like one as well. We went to see Dr. Doug and he assured us it was just a lymph node harboring some infection from a recent sinus infection and it was nothing antibiotics couldn't handle. But it never shrunk and with each sinus infection it would get bigger. So after a few rounds of anti biotics we went to see the ENT and he felt it should be removed due to the fact it was actually becoming very noticable. So a quick out patient procedure, The mass was about an inch in size, But the Doctors are confident there will be no reocurring related problems. He was so nervous and brave, whenever the nurses would ask if he hurt he would say yes my hand hurts from this tube. Once the IV was removed he started to feel better. Carson is doing great and back to normal but can't wait to have his stiches removed on Thursday.
