U is for............... uncomfortable.

I'm not sure if I've posted about this before so I'll catch those of you up who don't know anything. About a month ago Gavan went in for his 6 month teeth cleaning from our good friend, Tiffany. She always checks for oral cancer at the end of the cleaning and she found a unusual spot on the bottom side of his tongue. It was white and about the size of your small pinky nail. They took pictures of it and measured it and said to come back in 2 weeks to see if it had changed. Two weeks later it still looked the same so they recommended to see an oral surgeon. He went to see Dr. Lamb who said initially it doesn't look like anything too serious (nothing made the hair on the back of his neck stand up) but he'd still like to do a biopsy cause he didn't know exactly what it was. So today was the big day for the biopsy. Gavan's mom came to watch Jaylen so I could go with him and not worry about her. He got a shot right into his tongue which he said hurt pretty bad but then couldn't feel the rest of it. We're pretty sure he took the spot completely off and now Gavan is sporting a couple stiches that he'll go back in 10 days to get taken out. He's recovering pretty good, just pretty sore and uncomfortable and can't eat much. We should get the biopsy results Wednesdayish so please pray for good results.



Almost 5 months old!

Just a few pics I took of Jaylen yesterday. Hope you all have a great weekend!
