I just got back from taking Sera to her well baby check up. All seems to be going well. She weighed in at a whopping 13 pounds even. That's my little chunky monkey! She cooed and smiled for the doctor and pushed herself up when she was on her tummy, so the doctor is happy with her progress.

The cyst on her face is definitely growing, so the doctor called the dermatologist and got her appointment moved up to this upcoming Monday. She said they'll probably want to remove it ASAP so that it doesn't grow so big that it starts affecting her vision. :( The thought of my tiny little baby being put under general anesthesia scares me. The thought of someone cutting into her precious little face scares me. :( I'm just going to have to hope and pray for the best.

The doctor looked at the gap in her gums and said that she hadn't realized at the last appointment just how deep the gap went, so she's set up an appointment with the ear nose and throat doctor for the 8th of August. He'll probably want to do a full work up of her jaw to make sure that the cleft doesn't extend all the way to her jaw, possibly causing even more problems. So, that will be some xrays and who knows what else. Again, I can just hope and pray for the best. It's so difficult to put the fate of my children in the hands of people I don't know :(
