As you can see from this photo (and most all of Brenner's photos), he has a Dermoid Cyst above his right eyebrow. He's had this since he was a baby and it keeps growing and it will keep growing. Years ago we asked Brenner's pediatrician about having it removed and he said to wait because baby skin scars more than older skin. So, now that Brenner is 3 1/2 and it is driving me crazy every time I see it in his pictures, we are getting it removed. We met with a plastic surgeon at Primary Children's Hospital yesterday. He said that the size of the bump on the outside is the same size as on the inside. So, he will have to fill in the bone as well. Surgery is scheduled for Dec. 28th. It will be a quick surgery... about an hour. Brenner is kind of understanding the idea, but I think it will freak him out a little when we actually get there. I hope he will be a big boy!

Good luck...never fun when you have to just watch while your kid gets something like that done to them!
The worst part of it for you is saying good-bye before they put them under.
The worst part for them is waking up from the anesthesia. PCMC will make sure you're there when he wakes up. They're SO great there.
We're so sorry that we passed on the horrible gene of the lumps. When he is older, he can tell people the same thing his uncle Logan used to tell when someone commented on his scar, "That's where the aliens sucked out my brains".
Hope everything goes well!!
