Yesterday, I took Jayce to the dermatologist that our optometrist referred us to. From the picture that was sent to her by the optometrist, she thought the critter was going to be more below the eye. Since it is growing right out of the rim of the bottom lid, the dermatologist is scared to work on it so we were referred to yet another doctor. In a couple weeks, we have an appointment with an optomologist that is known for his excellent work with plastic surgery on eyes. Not sure how big the thing will be in another couple of weeks with the rate it is growing. The dermatologist did say this is something that she has seen quite a bit just not usually on the eye. It is usually the result of some sort of trauma like the scratch Jayce received. I can't remember the technical term but it is a mass of blood cells that has erupted out of the skin as a result of the scratch. Looking at this, you'd think it was some scratch, but it wasn't. Very minor no blood or tears. Gone in a couple of days. The dermatologist said if we left it alone it may go away but didn't know how long that would take. And since it keeps getting bigger and with the problem of bleeding or more like gushing, when it is messed with, she recommended it be removed. Duh! 
Seems like everyone knows how sick we have been around here. Strep, stomach flu, upper respiratory infections and a cough that won't go away. I'm not kidding, not a minute after I told my girlfriend that tubes were great because Colton's never had an ear infection since he got tubes, Colton came to me crying asking for a band-aide for his ear. Doc said that Colton's tubes have fallen out and are just sitting in the canal. So I guess they work if they are attached to the ear drum! Later on, Jayce came crying holding his throat saying his tonsils hurt when he yawns and Megan missed school yesterday
because of the same crud. When will it end?! Both boys have already been up crying tonight with same previous complaints so I suppose we are off to see the doctor tomorrow AGAIN. You know you go to the doctor a lot when the office staff call you by name as you walk in the door. I guess I will have the doc look at the burn on Colton's hand that he received as a result of grabbing my curling iron. Huge blister between his thumb and index finger. Not pretty. Poor baby. Luckily he didn't grab it by the barrel. Even though it was burning him, he didn't drop it. I had to take it out of his hand. I thought we had a "if it's hot drop it" reflex. He didn't even cry that much.
