Since the last appointment there has been a lot going on...The cream did not stop Gabi's hemangiomas from growing. She now actually has one on her butt (near her girly parts), but it is only as large as a pin-prick...and not at all raised. The doctor said that if it begins to grow at all he will laser it off so it won't become a problem (the pin-prick one...not the one on her face). We unfortunately found out that if we had been able to see Dr. Halmi at the very beginning of all this he could have lasered off Gabi's facial hemangioma and we wouldn't have to be dealing with any of this right now!!!! I was SO furious! But, there is nothing that can be done about that now...
Since the cream didn't stop the growth, the next step is steroid shots. We are reluctant to do that because of the potential that it might leave a scar on her face. :( We asked our family to pray and fast for Gabi this past Sunday 9/02/07 and we are grateful for all who participated! Over this Labor Day weekend Gabi's hemangioma changed every 24 hours (and not in a good way)! That worried us so we made an appointment for 9/5/07 at 11AM so that the Dr. can look at the recent development. Jack and I are SO stressed out about this. However, we saw a show over the weekend about a little girl who couldn't breath on her own, hold her head up, etc...so things could definitely be worse. We are grateful for our little Gabi and glad she is such a happy little baby --in spite of her little issues.
During all this I have gone back to work. I have been back since 8/13. I really like it and it is only part-time...so that is nice. I would love to continue working until Jack starts with the firm, but we will see how it goes on people to watch little Gabi. :)
