Dr. Islam and his staff took their time with us and were very gracious. He feels that the original diagnosis of a Baker's cyst is correct, although unusual in someone of Wesley's age. Because it has receded in size a bit since July and because Wesley does not have any pain, Dr. Islam feels that we should not operate but wait and see. Always refreshing when a surgeon doesn't think he should cut! He feels there is a good chance that given time, it might even go away on its own. So we have a follow up appointment in six months. If we have any issues between now and then, we can head back sooner.
Wesley got a great big Superman sticker for his trouble and we took the boys for an early dinner at a great new-to-us Mexican place called Chuy's in Gainesville.
