My 1 y/o ds is having surgery tomorrow to remove a mole from under his fingernail. It is most likely a benign nevus (mole), but there is a remote possibility that it could be melanoma (very rare in babies/children), so it has to be removed.
If you don't mind, please say a prayer for my little guy Henry. I know it is going to be a painful recovery for his poor little finger. : (
Thanks for the good thoughts, I'll post when we get home and settled. The surgeon is both a plastic surgeon and hand surgeon -- so he's in "great hands."
