That swelling in Sawyer's mouth was not an abcess, it's something called an epules (ep-yew-luss) and it needs to be surgically removed so they can do a biopsy on it. Most likely it's benign, but there is a very slight chance it's cancerous. So I need to come up with $300 pretty soon. They'll do a dental cleaning at the same time since he's already under. It's a same-day outpatient type of procedure, but I'm already getting jittery...
