one week down.....

here we are at the end of week one
of 
treatment for miss emerson's 
hemangioma.
this is the hemangioma at the beginning of the treatment
honestly 
i was expecting much change
since
she was only on 1/2 strength dosage
but
we did see change!!!
last week's measurements
were
2x2.5cm
and 
.8cm deep
this week 
the hemangioma looks like this

changes we've noticed
1) it looks more defined
2) the scabbing is starting to come off
3)less spidering
and the measurements are...
(drum roll please!)
2x2.2 cm
(shrunk .3 cm)
and
.6 cm deep
(shorter by .2 cm)
YAY!!
now we are on a full dosage of propranolol
and 
will go back to the doctor next week
for
a weight check
and 
more measurements!


she just found out she weighs a whopping 12 lbs.
she's my wide eyed beauty!

  1. My brother had a birthmark on his bottom lip that reminds me of this. It used to crack open and bleed and my poor mom got all kinds of mean looks from people in stores who thought he was abused. (It amazingly went away on it's own after a year or two.) So glad that the treatment is making it shrink!
    She is adorable! I hope that she and Cadence will get to meet each other one day!
