Minor Surgery!!

Shawn had to have a minor surgery last week on his head. It was an in-and-out procedure. He had to have a cyst removed off of his head. Thanks to those wonderful jeans that you automatically inherit when you are born. Well this is one of those. He has a few of them but this one was exceptional one!

(it was so large that it was being irritated from his hard hat)

They removed about a dime size of stuff from the cyst and then stitched him up with 10 stitches and sent him on his way.

(warning: the pictures are kind of gross)

he had to wear this bandage on his head for 24 hours after the surgery. then he was ok to take it off.

and this is what it looked like after surgery. kind of gross but much better then before and the cyst gone!

So on Friday he had to go back into the doctor and have the stitches taken out. The doc said that everything looks great. Shawn said that he was glad it was over. (well at least that one. he has 2 more that need to be removed but that will be later on down the road. they are not as large and don't bug him)
