Opthalmologist update

This morning we went in for Benjamin's follow up appointment with the opthalmologist. After once again looking at his eye he determined that the benign cyst (which is attached to the eye socket) is not growing fast so we are going to watch it for the next four months (until our next appointment) and then we would set a surgery date. He said he doesn't like to do this kind of surgery on kids under a year (THANK YOU!), so unless his eye gets red and stays swollen we would do the surgery when he turns one. I asked what the surgery would involve and he said he would put him under, they would cut the eye lid over the cyst, remove it, and use stitches to close it up. SO SAD! I'm glad that we will wait until he is a little older but it's still scary to think that my little baby is going to need such invasive surgery already!! Even with this problem he is still a super happy kid!
