From Brian Bartram:

Bella had her surgery on her hand this morning and is doing fine. In fact, when they called us into the recovery room she was already awake and reaching for mommy. The doctor excised a strip out of her birthmark containing two dark spots, with a biopsy being performed on the dark spots to ensure that they are not malignant. Once the spots are confirmed benign, then we have as long as we need to remove the rest. According to the doctor, it is now common practice to have birthmarks of this nature removed, as the risk for melanoma later in life is high. But for now, Bella is resting and doing great.
