David is sleeping in his cradle. He came home last night after a much simpler surgery than we had feared he would have. He did not get a port in and the surgeon was able to get the material needed without going through the muscle layer. Even immediately after the surgery, the mass looked much smaller. Now that the swelling has gone down it looks even flatter than it did last night. It looks like she removed a lot of material.

The surgeon reported that the mass looked like a regular plexiform fibroneuroma with grey nervelike tubes going every which way. We should get the pathology report in the next week.

It was bit of a trying day. The surgery was scheduled for noon, but the one before him went long, and then there was an emergency surgery right before his. David was very good despite having nothing to eat since 9 am, and nothing substantial since 5:30 am. He charmed the nurses as usual and even napped a good bit.
