The part that had us worried most...the car rides to and from the cities...went well!! She slept both rides the whole way! No screaming! Praise the Lord! There were many prayers said about this, so thank you! I think timing in the car is just key for her. If she is not happy she is not one to just go with the flow...she WILL let you know and won't stop until she gets it I think.
As for the appt. itself, it went pretty good. We saw Dr. Wood at Gillette and he recommends laser treatment. I thought we were going to get the oral treatment - Propranolol, but he said the type of hemangioma she has responds very well to laser treatment and there are less (virtually no) side effects with the laser treatment. The bummer part is that we have to come back to the cities and this time we have to go to the Gillette hospital in St. Paul to have it done! And she has to have sedation because it is right by her eye!!! Poor baby! They are supposed to call us to schedule it today. Although I am going to ask at Kara's Dr. appt. on Friday if she can have the laser treatment done here in Willmar. I know they do it, I just don't know if they will on such a young baby and with the location of the hemangioma. We'll see. Thanks for all the prayers and keep em coming!
