Alarmed we called the doctor and they told us we could wait until the morning or head to Dell. We decided to wait and went to the doctor 1st thing in the morning
Our pediatrician immediately sent us to a surgeon where they told us that they would do surgery to drain or remove the mass.
Turning over my baby was by far one of the hardest things I have ever done...about 30 minutes later they told us he was awake and we could see him.
After about an hour in recovery we headed to our room. Surgery went well and they placed a drain in the arm to continue to drain the mass.
Although I am not a big fan of being in the hospital...Dell Childrens is amazing and try's to make you feel as home as you can.
After we got to our room they got Bruce settled and Papa and Savannah came to get Daddy and see Bruce.
Savannah was very concerned for her brother and just rubbed his arm. Andy and I decided that I would stay and he would go home with Savannah. Bruce went to sleep around 8:30 and woke up at 3.
He decided that he would stay awake from 3-6...but at least he was happy!
Poor baby not so happy when we took off the bandage and gave him a bath...see the red thing that is the drain.
We were released by 2 this afternoon and were very happy to e home! We have to clean the wound 3 times a day and make sure it continues to go down.
Once again-Dell Childrens you are great but I hope we don't see you again!!

Love his smile in that last picture. What a sweet boy. Surgery on little ones is the worst. I remember handing Kyler over to the nurses and that ache in your stomach as you wait to hear. Glad he's doing well and that you're home. Praying for quick healing!
