Tumor, BE GONE!
On the Sunday of Camryn's 6th birthday party, my sister pointed out something in Camryn's mouth that she had discovered the day before. She routinely checks the kids mouths and looks at their teeth. This mound on the roof of her mouth reminded me of fallen arches - except in the mouth. My sister took her in on Monday where they rushed her to the Emergency Room for a cat scan. The scan revealed that Camryn had a tumor - and it needed to be removed immediately. We were all sick over it and wanted it out. There was noone in Maine qualified or experienced enough to perform the surgery so it was the end of the week before my sister and her husband found themselves at Mass General. There they found an excellent surgeon who performed the surgery this morning. Originally it looked like things would be much worse - we thought Cam was going to lose all of her teeth and the bones in her palate. Luckily, as it stands today, the tumor (which has since been determined to be a Giant Cell Tumor) is out and the teeth are in. The worst is behind us. Yay Camryn!! We love you and hope you have a smooth recovery! XOXOXO

wow...never heard of that before! glad things are better.
thank you for the good vibes on the test...no instant results for me (that's on the state test). this is just the class test. still, thank you for sending the vibes...i'm going to need 'em.
(if your not busy- try to send them again around, oh say, 6:30ish because that's when I will actually be taking the test- if i pass, I'll owe you one! ;)
i like the way u speak to that tumor and tell it what to do - glad ur lil friend is tumor free!
phew...encouraging news, we'll keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. We wish Camryn a speedy recovery :-)
the doctors are great at Mass General. I'm sure she got the best. Take care.
