Surgery Success!
We either spelled or banned the word surgery before Zion's procedure that was to remove a cyst on the back of his head. We have affectionately called it "The Mole" since birth, but it is really some kind of weird cyst that looked like a birthmark and had an official name as long as the Amazon. It started to grow and change color, so instead of waiting a few years, we decided to go ahead and get it over with. Zion was ever the trouper! He sat still through about 8 shots of lidocaine to his scalp and another 45 minutes of cutting, poking, pulling and stitching.
An hour after we got there, we were walking out, with a little less of Zion's head than when we came in. He has to have a bandage over the incision for 2 weeks, which should be interesting considering it is on his hairy little head. Today, they wrapped him up like a pirate and the nurses gave his stuffed elephant the same treatment. It was adorable! What a kid!!!

Those must be some SERIOUS glitches if your personal IT dept cant solve them. Hmm, come to think of it, perhaps the End is already upon us :)
