We just got back from the doctors for Jacob. She said that the bump was a "desmoid fibromatosis" or a desmoid tumor. It is completely non life threatening but it is very likely to come back. As long as it comes back where it is easy to get to, like the outside of his head, we just have to keep cutting them off, but if it grows on the inside of his head it can be life threatening. He will be getting MRIs every six months to let us know if one is coming back. She wants to get to them while they are small. If it does grow inside his head he might have to have kimo, but they usually just come back where they already have been.
That's about it. Life just goes on as we know it. Thank for all your prayers.

Thanks for posting Gwen. Poor guy! Doesn't sound like fun, but it could be a lot worse!
We love you guys!
So glad it is nothing more serious, that sounds serious enough!
Please let Jacob know how much he is loved by his Grandpa and Grandma Gibbons! He continues in our prayers every single day.
Grandpa
Counting our blessings that it's not worse than it could have been! And modern day technology, medicine, and insurance is such a blessing as well!
