Gracie Ann

Gracie telling her daddy all about the day and those things on her feet that keep hurting her.

waiting at the Pulmonologist thinking she has better things to do like play or sleep

My new shoes and brace.

My little love is doing great and should be off oxygen within a month or so. We will need to see if she will be affected with the higher elevation in PA. The Dermatologist actually met us at the Pulmonologist's office to follow up about the bump on her forehead and her hemangioma on her stomach. The hemangioma is looking great and should start to go down in size. There is no follow up on that. Her forehead will be biopsied on Tuesday. The doctor can't figure out why the mass is growing. The MRI shows that it is not attached to the skull which is great but if it is a fat tumor, it should be going away now that she is 6 months instead of growing. This is done in office. They will give her a shot in her head to numb the area, make a tiny incision, take a sample of the mass, and sew her up. It should be no more than 1 or 2 stitches. I want to have this done by our doctor here because I like her and trust her. Her voice is starting to get a little louder. It is very weak but you can hear it a little better when she cries. Her braces are still very painful for her. The doctor gave me the ok to let her out of them for 30 minutes 4 times per day. I hope this goes away soon.

Isn't she a doll!
