As a nurse for over 33 years....make sure that they remove the entire cyst sac...the membrane that surrounds the cyst. If the entire sac (sack) isn't removed, the cyst WILL return. They should send the cyst contents to pathology for a report of exactly what the cyst was...if a normal dermoid cyst, all should be benign. A couple of months after surgical removal should show no sign of the cyst ever being there. But if you feel a small "bb" shape or small bump in that area, it's the dermoid reforming...because they didn't remove the entire cyst. Here's hoping it is removed 100%!!!!

[@boysmummajt2009]

Fun fact Alex is a nurse her self

They will be getting all the info from a doctor that specializes in this situation, not a nurse. Lol.

[@MagicalSoulMindStorm]

[@cynthiagildea-dixon314]

Watching your family grow has been an absolute joy... I had babies when I was a teen one year apart and gave them both up for adoption to the father's brother and his wife who could not have kids and we come full circle when I turned 25 and after trying for 3 years to get pregnant I found out that I had trauma due to my second daughters premature birth by c section and I never knew but I had extensive scar tissue. I couldn't afford to do IVF or even adoption so I just didn't have kids and it broke me, I started down a bad path for a few years and then God delivered me and now I'm at peace at 42 with my fur babies... I rescue dogs... But I love watching y'all

@@deborahevans1052… she’s two. But she missed out on a good 6-8 month period of breast feeding… there’s nothing wrong with long term feed infact it’s healthier for kiddos and creates a strong bond with mom and kid. Plus the amount of antibodies in breast milk would’ve been so important during Cassidy’s healing journey. It’s not the 60’s anymore.

[@sarahjohnson7170]

I had a dermoid Cyst above my right eyebrow from the time I was born, it grew with me and I ended up being bullied in school about it. I went to a dermatologist who performed a minimal surgery at 11 and got an initial surgery. She did surgery about a 1/4 inch above my eyebrow and ended up not getting all of the cyst out and it grew back, I also now have little to no feeling in that area and a visible scar. A plastic surgeon at 13 helped me to fully remove it with a scar just at my eyebrow and it is invisible, my eyebrow grows over it and the cyst has never come back. I would go the route of the eyebrow because her hair could grow around/over it and no one would ever know. Blessings to you all❤️

[@lanieleigh9970]

Time for a big girl bed for Cassidy! As for the cyst, smallest incision right in the eyelid crease, small puncture of the cyst wall and remove contents, then remove the entire sac to prevent reoccurrence thru the small incision, then a couple/few micro-sutures (shouldn’t require more than 3-4 especially with a small incision) and all will be fine! I would recommend sedation so the surgeon isn’t dealing with a squirming little lady. Extremely simple procedure, the key to success is to make sure they remove the entire sac to prevent reoccurrence. As for her wanting to be like a Joey in the pouch, not a thing wrong with that! It just shows her bond with her momma!

Me and Alex gave birth almost at the same time (1 week apart), I watched her pregnancy milestones as I was experiencing them all at the same time and it was so nice going through everything and watching Alex how she deals with it like a pro, it felt like we were two friends sharing the exact same experience, I don't know, it felt really nice. I was crying with her when she was going through everything with Cassidy when she was born. I was praying for Cassidy and I was hugging my kid and thanking God she is healthy and okay. I am so involved in your story guys and I am really attached to Cassidy, as she touched my heart. Seeing her fight for her future made all of us so proud of her.

Thank you for being a praying community. Not all social media is bad when you find channels like this. Thank you for sharing your hearts & family with us. I've enjoy watching you for years. My family needs prayer for financial security. My two young adults daughters are still @ home as they both just finished college. My oldest was working part time & found out yesterday she only has two weeks left at that job because it was a temporary internship. I work at that Law Firm as well & it's a toxic environment but we have stayed because we just moved to SoCal one year ago & needed the work. It's really a blessing because we have both said we wanted to find other jobs. We just thought it would be on our timing. Please stand in faith and prayer that we can trust God's plan is bigger than ours & better things are coming for us. Trying to be positive but it's scary. This is the first time I've not had a partner with me as I go through a financial crisis. I know God is with me and that's all we will need. Thank you...❤

It's so cute to see Cassidy, try to do what the big kids do, and the big kids are so patient with her when she's trying to do what they are doing.. Phil, and Alex; I want to take a little time to say Thank you, for letting me "us" be a part of your extended family, and for sharing your beautiful, sweet, caring, kind girl with me "us".

I have that kind of cyst but on my brain stem. It was found after I started having symptoms from the cyst growing and damaging my nerves. I had brain surgery but they weren’t able to get it all without causing major damage. I’m glad Cassidy will be getting this done before it causes any major problems.

Praying for Cassidy.Such a beautiful blessing she is. 37 years ago I had surgery at 2 years old for a Hamangioma on the right side of my face(about where my temple is) I have a scar,but easily covered. Don’t hear it often from others.again prayers for that your sweet girl.

Both of the restaurants are good. You mentioned I went to both of them while my husband was going to Vanderbilt while he was alive and going through brain cancer meningioma and edema before he passed away in October 2022

I am from the UK, but my niece had a dermoid cyst, a little bit higher than Cassidys and it was successfully removed her any problems. All the surgeon said was that make sure to get the sack out. There’s no scar to see now. iAnd she was about 4 when She was she got the surgery.

Thank you, Phil, I needed very much to hear this today.

Oh my how the kids have grown! I've been watching you from the beginning. My sister lived in the same town as you in California.

[@erikajones8009]

Thank you for sharing your lives with us. You should ask her if she remembers being in your tummy. Some kids do when they are younger but very very few.

Alex, you are allowed to have a bit of anxiety when it comes to Cassidy. Look at what you have all been through. Please remind yourself though, that you & Phillip have also come a long way in this journey called life. Look at what you have been through (eg:- infertility, having a heart baby) & then remind yourself how INCREDIBLE you both are because you have supported each other through everything and you have been blessed with such a beautiful family (& I know you know how blessed you are). What amazes me though, is through your journey you always find a way to encourage others and that is such a beautiful thing (just goes to show how amazing you are). Anyway, I know you will help Cassidy through this next part of her journey and you will thrive yet again. ❤

Cassidy you are adorable! And you have the best big sisters ever! Phillip I love your pep talks! Thanks we have had to make some hard decision of late that are not fun in the now, but will bring a better future for our family. I needed that encouragement! Love you guys! Lots of things that are up in the air. If you could pray for direction that would be fantastic!
