Post-Op Visit

So we had Chase's Post-op visit today. The surgeon said he was healing very nicely and he was glad that he was doing as well as he is. He said that he was really worried about chase because he had to cut through so much muscle and what he had to take out was so tough to get out. So the pathology came back as a Cavernous Hemangioma.
This is what it is - Cavernous malformations are dilated blood vessels that are characterized by multiple distended "caverns" of blood that flow very slowly. The blood filled vascular spaces are surrounded by blood vessel walls that do not have enough smooth muscle and stretchable material (elastin), so they are not strong and get distended. Cavernous malformations can be located anywhere in the body, including the liver, rectum, kidney, eyes, and nerves.
He basically said that it is very rare for a child to have this and the chance of having another one is very small. There is a slight chance that in 30 years he could develop another one in his liver but not to worry about it. So we are finally done visiting doctors at least for now. So that is good so now that everything is getting back to normal at least on this front we are packing up and getting ready to go to Las Vegas. We are going for the World Archery Tournament and Trade Show we are leaving Thursday morning so we have to get packed and Chase is staying with Grandma Stucki while we are gone. Forrest is shooting and I will have to work in the booth a little but this will be my first vacation in two years so needless to stay I'm excited to get out of the frozen wasteland and get warm. Well I have to get moving I have a lot to do.
