Isaac, Drew, and Sofie

I went to the doctor with Isaac two weeks ago for a check up on a growth that had developed on the inside of his lower gum.  The doctor asked, "when did this start?"  Isaac answered, "About two years ago!"

This growth started just after all of his permanent teeth finally came in, and it's been growing slowly ever since.  But at this point, it's gotten so big that it had started pushing his tongue to one side of his mouth.   When I looked at it recently, I was surprised at the size of it.

Barbara had tried to take Isaac to begin the process of getting this taken care of, but he ended up being between insurance coverage and we couldn't afford to pay for the procedure outright.

Thankfully, the boys are covered by insurance now, and we've been able to have it checked by the primary doctor, referred to the Oral Surgeon and the surgery already done.   All at no cost to our family.

The Doctor had said that possible risks were:  paralysis of the tongue or face, loosing his lower teeth at the surgery location, and more...  Thank the Lord, none of these possibilities were probabilities with God.  Isaac came through the surgery like a trooper and is currently recovering.  We go back later this week to get the results of the biopsy of the mass which was both bone and tissue.
