Sebastian was born with a little growth on the bottom of his right foot, specifically on the heel. We monitored it with our pediatrician and around 15-18 months it seemed to start bothering Seb. We were referred to a pediatric surgeon and scheduled a date to remove the growth. Just in time! Seb was so bothered by the bump that he reverted to crawling, he refused to walk on his foot. Crawling didn't allow him to keep up with Eden and he was quite unhappy about missing out on fun.

By August, the growth was back and by October it was bigger than before the surgery. So, we went back to the pediatric surgeon. His suggestion was to see a pediatric dermatologist in case there was a non-surgical option. There isn't. So, we went to a pediatric plastic surgeon who ordered an MRI.

| Seb biked into the MRI room and did well with anesthesia. |

| Waking up wasn't as fun. He has a really hard time. |
So, surgery with the pediatric plastic surgeon is scheduled for 29 Dec at 8am at Dell Children's Hospital. This surgery is much more invasive. It'll involve a skin graft and Seb will be fully sedated for over two hours.
Many prayers have been answered so far, we're trusting God to continue to take care of our Sebbie.
