Levi's skin tag


I don't know how many of you know, but Levi was born with an extra piece of skin on his ear that is called a skin tag. His DR was going to just cut it off when he was circumcised, but after consulting another pediatrician, she cautioned us to have it looked at by an ENT. There could be a chance that it was intertwined with his facial nerve and cutting it off could cause half his face to be paralyzed. So we had the consult when Rylee had her monthly check with the ENT and he said it was just skin and that it could easily be cut off. He got it done on Monday. He cried for only a moment and returned to his normal smiley self. He has just a little scab that is healing nicely.
