It was a really hectic last day in the clinic. We had a four year old boy who has a cyst in
his upper jaw that’s been there at least a year (they first noticed it a year
ago, which means it may have been growing for two). Under this mass was simply a cavity filled
with fluid about the size of a tennis ball.
We were very happy to be able to treat it, as if it was another type of
growth, the most we could have done would be to take a biopsy. But hopefully this will be the last procedure
he’ll ever have to have.
We had two other minor cases, but then at 3:30 a young lady
with a very large tumor of the lower jaw came to the hospital, and the doctor
referred her over. We did a biopsy for
her and were able to remove at least part of the tumor. This could be a cancerous process, like a
lymphoma, so we’ll keep praying for her.
Either way, hope for a surgery could be slim.
