Things are going well...and we are settling back into a routine. We have had 4 dr visits and everyone seems to agree that the mucus from the cold, the stress from her getting a cough/virus, are what her triggers are for an attack. We will continue on the meds and as much as I hate giving them to her....it's just too serious to feel guilty about.
We do have exciting news on her birthmark. We went ot one of 4 pediatric vascular surgeons in the U.S.....he just happens to be in Dallas...and he wants to remove her hemangioma. We have had so many drs and nurses give differing opinions...with most of them saying to leave it alone, and it's good to get a finality to it. I had been in correspondense with one of the leading dr's on hemangiomas...and he told me that he would have it removed. So I feel good about thier agreeance.
The surgeon also wants to remove the one on her belly. We had never given any thought to that one....but he said it will turn gray and will be saggy and loose. We are scheduled for March 23rd!!They have gotten large as you can see.....
We are looking forward to our 1st birthday!!! Can't wait to see everyone over to celebrate.
Also looking forward to better posts with less medical information and taking more pictures.
Thank you to everyone for thoughts and prayers. We feel really strong!!
