well nuggie's taggie removal was a no go this morning. we arrived at the doctor's office and waited and waited AND waited. i have to brag on my sweet baby for a moment. she was such a trooper - no crying at all. she just quietly took everything in even though she missed her morning nap. and even though the doctor kept us waiting for over 30 minutes too - she was such a good baby this morning! anyhow - when he arrived he determined that she would need general anesthesia for the procedure. that requires 4-6 weeks to get insurance approval and scheduling surgery at the children's hospital. i'm really not ok with having my 5 month old put under general anesthesia for something that is totally cosmetic. she's so young. i just want her to have it removed before she goes off to school so kids won't tease her about it. we're in search of a second opinion. i've also emailed her pediatrician. he implied when we spoke about this whole thing a month ago that it would be a simple procedure involving just a local anesthesia... i want to see if that could still be done? otherwise we're waiting for a while. i'm not putting my little love through something that traumatic at this age.

thank you everyone for your words of love and prayer. we felt them today. i'd just ask everyone to keep us in your thoughts as we try to be wise about our next steps and where we go from here.

Why are they able to rip the foreskin off, but not that?
i have NO idea! they put little boys to sleep for that crap, they can't snip off a tiny little bit of skin on her head??
I think you mean they DON'T put boys to sleep for that. Maybe it is because they do it the day after they are born.
