Some good news...

Doc Schmidt came out yesterday for two reasons.  One, to see Rozzi and figure out what to do about the small cyst on his nose that he has had since he was born.  And two, to let me know how Poppi looks and what our next step should be.  Good news on both counts.  He drained the cyst and cut it open so that it can drain and slowly heal.  He didn't want to cut it from the outside because that would have left a visible scar.  So it was done from the inside and my poor little man leaned his entire body weight on me the whole time while Doc performed the procedure.  I felt bad making him go through that, but I needed to be sure it was JUST a cyst and nothing more serious.  He was sore yesterday, but he let me rub his face all over today and even clean his nose out.  He is such a good little man.  He was very happy this morning and wanted to play with his big ball more than he wanted to eat his breakfast.  The swelling is already down and I think he feels better than he did before the cyst was drained.  Doc suggested it could have been from a piece of wood getting stuck in his skin the first night he was here, or it could be something he was born with.  Either way, he is fine and well after his cosmetic surgery procedure.  And Mr Poppi was given a clean bill of health, including the news that the small area near the incision where his body wall is soft is more a hemotoma than a hernia!  Doc says the large intestine has "adhered itself to the body wall" so to speak, and that the body wall itself looks great.  His hernia is almost non-existent which is a HUGE relief because I felt like the hernia would get bad because we can't keep the hernia belt on him.  Doc took out two staples that were hanging out in his incision.  I had tried to take them out myself, since Doc Provost left me the tools to do it, but I just did not feel comfortable yanking that hard.  He is still on stall rest until March 1st, at which point we will head over to Tufts to get him an ultrasound to see if he is safe to run and play.  My babies are doing well as of today, lets keep praying! <3
