The growth Kallie had removed from here eye a few years ago ended up coming back. We were referred to a specialist who said he was not concerned it was something "bad" and recommended we watch it for a few months. We did that and it continued to grow so per the doctors recommendation we had it removed again - a bit more invasive this time with the hope that it does not grow back. The removed the growth (with a small margin around it), used donor tissue which was glued and stitched to her eye. I guess over time the donor tissue dissolves and her eye tissue will grow over it - Science is so fascinating!
Although surgery is always stressful (I was a zoo/Kallie was a trooper) I am happy to report it was a success. Kallie was so brave from beginning to end! Recovery is going to be the hardest part - she can't play sports, play at the park or run around for 3 weeks. Once she gets the all clear from the Dr. she will be back at it in no time.
