Bohn Nodule

I took Troy to the doctor today because he had this concerning white protuberance on his upper gum. We weren’t sure if it was a tooth or something else, so we wanted to get it checked out. I say I took him, because it ended up being my first solo trip, due to my wife getting unexpectedly stuck at the DMV. Despite everyone, including the doctor, being concerned that I could handle this alone, I did fine. It’s easy when you have an amazing son that has your back!

The protuberance ended up being a Bohn nodule, which is basically like a white head on your gums. But instead of it being a clogged poor, it’s a clogged salivary gland. It’s very common, and should dissolve on its own.

Also, on a side note, Troy now weighs 23 pounds and 4 ounces, and he’s just shy of 30 inches long. This explains my chronic back pain now.
