It turns out Luke did not have a hemangioma like Lily. His is a different kind of vascular growth. Lily's is part of her genetic makeup, Luke's came about later and is considered a growth. We had a doctor's appt. today with a dermatologist. I was expecting them to shine a laser at it and maybe have to come in for a follow up. Nope. They had to give him a shot in his nose, then CUT it off, and then burn it with a cauterizing tool..... I am still gathering myself together after that experience. Then, they told me they have to biopsy it. I don't know about you, but I think the word "biopsy" should somehow be spelled with four letters, because that's the kind of word it is to me. But I am sure it is nothing. Luke is a happy, healthy, vivacious little boy. They said there will be some scarring, and the potential for it to grow back. I am just thankful that our little bumps in the road are as simple as this. Luke is my child who can have me ready to strangle his neck, and then kiss all over his precious face in a split second. Justin and I talk about how we love his steadfastness. Most times, it's more of stubborness, or disobedience, but in the long run, I believe he will be a strong, in-it-for-the-long-run kind of guy. He doesn't give up. He gets that from his daddy :)
