Lumpdate

We went back to the doctor today because Amelia's lump is still there. As far as the doctor can tell, it's most likely a hemangioma. That's like a benign tumor made up of little blood vessels. It's basically a strawberry birthmark, but inside her cheek wall. We have to keep watching it and making sure it doesn't suddenly get bigger, in which case they'd do more testing, but it should start getting smaller after around 6 months and eventually go away all together.

PHEW.

Here's a new picture to take your mind off of it:
