Well, today's trip to London was a good one! He had another ultrasound and the haemangiomas on his liver are shrinking, as is the one on the outside. Although, if caught or scratched, he could still bleed badly, he is just about healed. Hes fine without a dressing which gives both him and us so much more freedom. Hes been swimming (all of 5 minutes, wasn't too keen but we'll keep taking him and I'm sure he'll get to love the water) and he can be bathed properly every day! That might not sound exciting, bathing your baby but, its great to be able to put him in a bath and play and get him clean.
So, now we've been told he doesn't need to go back to GOSH until NEXT YEAR :o) He'll have another scan and check-up. Unless we have any problems in between, I will just update with photos every month or two to let everyone see how the haemangioma is disappearing.
This is the journey of my son, Fox. He was born with a large haemangioma to his right side. I created this blog to help other people going through the same thing and also to urge any parent, if they feel it is necessary, to always try and get the best medical attention they can for their baby while he or she is still young. If you're not happy with what you're hearing, don't be afraid to ask for a second opinion.
