Erik got to accompany Jamie and C to the Illinois Medical Center in Peoria two days after Christmas.

It was a good thing they had the retractable measuring tape in the exam room again. The fill went fine. (Although I don't recommend mom wearing a white scarf to a procedure where blood oozes out of the injection point for 2 minutes after.) We got the pain killers ordered for after the excision and got things wrapped up in a pre-operation sense. Surgery date is January 22, 2014. It is an outpatient procedure and they will keep him overnight for observation. We are anxious and in preparation.

Doctor Elwood is hopeful that he will be able to accomplish all the planned excision in this surgery. The plan is to rebuild the hairline and side-burn area. The parts of the mole that will remain as planned are in the eye-brow and eye-lid, a very small bit.
