After not seeing the doctor for three weeks, David and I met with the pediatric surgeon and then the OB doctor last Thursday. The surgeon was very upbeat about the whole thing. From his experience, either the cyst will go away on its own within the first year, or they'll have to do surgery at about 6 months to a year of Allison's age. If she does require surgery and they can wait that long, it will only require 3 small holes in the left side of her chest.
Afterward we met with the OB doctor to check on Allison. She's growing well and the cyst isn't growing; it actually measured a bit smaller than last time. We're praising God for His kindness!
Once we were done with that appointment, we headed up the elevator to see our new little nephew, Daniel. He was born at 35 weeks but has had no problems breathing, just slow going on nursing. He is absolutely adorable! For those of you who know Robert and Melissa, they have a link with pictures at http://randmelectric.wordpress.com/2009/02/27/
