Visit to UCSF

Aly had an appointment with Dr. Frieden today at UCSF Vascular Anomalies Center. Aly has been off the steriod Prednisolone (Orapred) to treat her hemangioma on her left hand since January 10th and it has gotten a bit puffy again. Dr. Frieden has suggested that we keep in eye on it to make sure that it doesn't ulcerate again and if it continues to grow, we will try another medication, but only if needed. I don't know much about this new medication other then it's used on patients for high blood pressure and it's still under review for treatment of hemangiomas. So, hopefully it stops growing and she doesn't need to be on any other medications. Other then that Aly's hand is doing well.
