So. We had a loooooong day today! I am so very tired! We went to the Art Institute and toured the school and started the process for signing Tom up for Culinary School...very cool. He is very excited but more nervous than excited! I think every first time college student has those kinds of jitters. So we were there from about 10:30 am-12:30 pm. Oh, and of course we parked in the wrong parking ramp, the one that is like temperature regulated and so very expensive per 1/2 an hour. Yep, that one.
Not that you can tell this, because I like to correct my errors...but I cannot type write now, I keep forgetting to finish typing a word or mix up the letters...I have been using the back space alot in this post!
Then, it was off to Shelby's doctor appointment. We grabbed a quick bite to eat there, and then went to the clinic, where again, a procession of doctors were able to view my child's cute little bottom. I felt so bad for her because her butt is so raw from "pooping out" this ear infection from the antibiotics. Not only that, but with the hemangioma, it has ulcerated which means it's broken open and infected, so it's all bleeding and gooey. Yuck. But so imagine when she pees and poops how that feels on an open wound!! She just screams...and I cry.
But did anyone catch something? Did I say hemangioma and not vascular malformation???? I think I did! Which means yes, prayers have been answered! The dermatologist really, really, really believes now that her thingy, is an infantile hemangioma, NOT a vascular malformation! That means, it will just shrink away, basically, as she grows up. It is still, a little bit of a waiting game, but that is the game plan now, to just wait. They are not going to order up all the different tests they were going to do, yahooooo, but, we still have to finish out seeing this last doctor about her bladder (which in my heart I know is fine) and then we see dermatology in March to make sure the ulcerated part of her hemangioma has healed correctly!!
So, truly, Praise the Lord! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!! The best news we have had in awhile. I KNOW many of you have been praying for her, and I cannot say in words how thankful we are for them. Thank you.
So now, if her little butt would just heal up from the infection, and her ear...well, she just may be "normal" again! Oh how I love her!
