Removal surgery scheduled...

We had our long awaited appointment with U-M Pediatric Plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Kasten today...a great guy, seemed very capable and engaged.  We found out she will have the removal surgery in one month, as we wait for the tissue surrounding the mass to return to normal.  The procedure will be outpatient, requiring general anesthesia and a small half-inch incision. 

Her spot looks great, flaky skin around the mass from where it was stretched to the breaking point and one small scab where it broke open on Sunday.  Dr. Kasten will take care of any scarring from the break during surgery, so she should just have a simple straightline incision scar, which should fade over time.  Ready to be done with all this!
