As most of you know, Bella contracted MRSA and ended up getting an abcess on her bottom. I took her to her doctor on Tuesday and he sent us right over to a surgeon to look it over and set up a time to have it lanced open and drained. Due to the size, her doctor didn't feel comfortable doing it right there in the office. She had to have general anestetic, so they did the procedure as outpatient surgery. The surgeon set it up for Wednesday morning at 6:30 am. Daddy snapped some pictures with his cell phone while we waited. 
The surgery went well and Bella was excited to come home. The worst part was taking her back the following day to physical therapy so they could change the packing and dressing. The outer hole is probably the size of a nickel and the inner hole is about the size of a golf ball. I had to hold her down on her tummy whille they pulled out the old packing and put in the new. She screamed and cried the whole time. It was the worst thing I've experienced yet as a mommy. I'm hoping the healing process will go quickly and our poor little princess will be back to her normal silly self!!! Until next time...
