Heres where we are at the minute and a photo of him at his first party where he could actually join in and play! Well......he danced and twirled a bit :p
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.

Dressing Free!!!!!!
Fox was going to have his dressing changed as normal yesterday and his nurse just noticed, there really was nothing there, no small ulcers, no deep folds (most often caused by the dressing and his movement, then sleeping on it!) so suggested, if I was ok with it, that we try him with just a normal baby body suit and plenty of Diprobase ointment. So, its been 24 hours now and hes showing no signs of irritation (he often 'windmills' his arm when he has his dressing off, simply as it must just feel odd after having it on for so long) or danger. The haemangioma isn't folding of stretching. Everything seems normal. So, fingers crossed, we could be nearing the end the treatment for now!!! Its weird, but great. He could go swimming :o) Back at GOSH on 8th February 2010 so will update then if no problems before.
