Having only needed to go for one check up in a year has been amazing!
We went back to London in early February for a scan and a check up with Prof. Harper. The scan was all clear so they couldn't even pick up the haemangiomas that were on his liver.
I was very surprised that Prof. Harper offered Fox a referral to the plastic surgeons at GOSH. I thought he would just be left now and perhaps the graft released as he grew but no. They may be able to laser the remaining visible thread veins away, make the graft more comfortable and take away the excess skin which is weighing down the area. The appointment will be within the next year and back again in a year for a check up.
Excellent!
A reminder to anyone reading this, a charity event to raise funds for the BSG will take place in Louth, Lincolnshire on Saturday 26th March 2011. Please share and invite, thank you!

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.
