Well, I just got back from the pediatric opthalmologist about Mia's eye. Cheri called me after my last post and told me that she thought it was hemangioma. She was right. At least that is what the doc. thinks right now. He said we'll probably have to do a CT scan to make sure and to check and see how close it is to her eye. Hemangioma is a type of birthmark. It grows pretty rapidly for the first year and then will start to get smaller. 70% of them are gone by the time the child is 7 years old. Because it is next to her eye we have to watch it carefully and make sure it doesn't start pushing on the eye. If it does she will have to get cortizone injections. Please pray with us that it doesn't get that big. The pics. I've seen on the internet are not pretty and the doctor did warn me that it can get a bit traumatic depending on how big it gets. After seeing the pics. on WebMD, I don't want to see anymore. I'm sure those are just severe cases and they'll just make me anxious. Please pray with us though. I'm also worried about our insurance. We only have to pay the copay for the first 6 appts. but after that we have to pay for any doctor visits. Well, she has already had three in the last 2 weeks and has another one in two more weeks. I'll keep you posted on anymore.
Love ya,
Britt

I'm glad they were able to confirm it. Hailey's was right on her eyelid and she didn't have any problems, so I'm sure Mia's will be fine. We'll be praying for you. :)
We will be praying for Mia. Love you guys...
I just got your announcement in the mail...she is darling! Her hair looks almost strawberry blonde!
Ya, it's pretty blond now. Gabe's was the same way. In the sunlight it looks more red but that is starting to fade now.
I am glad that you finally got some answers. Sorry I am behind, but I am sure Eric told Tony but her didn't say anything to me. We will be praying for you her too.
