8 Weeks today!

Today is Jett's 8 week birthday. Unbelievable!

So the mucamyst has been started and OMG does he stink!!! The medicine smells like eggs or reclaimed stinky sulfer water! It seems to be moving some mucus out so hopefully this is all he needs!

The facial surgeon came and looked at the mass on his cheek. He underwent a CT scan and MRI to evaluate it. We found out he has what is called a hemangioma, which is an overgrowth of blood vessels. It is a benign tumor and will probably continue to grow until he is 10 months and then will start to shrink. They will not biopsy or remove it because of the risk of bleeding.

We will speak with the Surgeon today and then have a meeting with the rest of the disciplines tomorrow. The meeting is for all the dr.s to discuss and be on the same page.

Jace is having a blast with his cousin Kaleigh! Poor Aunt Merry can't get a break, he wants her to play with him constantly. So much for a relaxing vacation!!

Will post more info when I get it...

Love
Liz

  1. Liz and PJ,

    We are so excited when we hear good news from your Mom and Dad and we will continue to pray that God will guide the doctors in whatever decisions that need to be made on Jett's behalf. We will also be praying for both of you and Jace in hopes that you will find comfort and strength. Thank you for keeping everyone posted on how the family is doing.

    May God bless you all.

    Bob & Lynne
