In office procedure...

Today was Jasmyn's in office procedure to biopsy/remove a mole that was discolored, rough textured, odd shaped, and growing. The procedure was quick and almost painless for Jas. She thought the shots to numb the area was the worst part. I will save you all the gruesome details. Let's just say that I watched the whole thing, up close, and I couldn't be the one doing the procedure. Afterwards to save Jas the trouble of stitches the area was burnt. It smelled! The area has broken open a few times and has leaked through bandages. We need to keep it bandaged and keep an antibiotic ointment on it for 7-10 days. No letting it air. As of now she is in a little bit of pain and quite uncomfortable. I did however tell her due to where the mole was located, maybe she should refrain from talking as to not open the wound again. Ah, a teenage girl she is, she would not even hear of that. We also reviewed the results from her lab tests. Jasmyn has nothing wrong with her that shows in the lab work, all came back good. She is still being referred to a pediatric neurologist to find the cause of her tremors. The doctor really didn't like them today with the whole procedure. Here are Jasmyn and Dolan messing around in the waiting room.
This was the first thing Jasmyn saw when she entered the room where the procedure was to be done. Needless to say, that was the point when she started getting really nervous.

Here is Jasmyn's giddy-nervousness. She was so nervous that she just laughed the whole time, at least until the doctor came in.
This is the before shot. When it is healed I will post the after picture.
