Aly's clubfoot update

Aly had a minor set back with her club foot because she has learned to kick off her brace every night, so needless to say she hasn't been wearing it properly. At our last doctors appointment she was put back in a full leg cast. She gets a new cast every weds. until her foot is corrected back to position then we will try the brace again. So here are Aly & Izy taking a bath together with my make shift cast cover... LOL!! She's gonna love this one when she gets older

Aly & Izy on the move

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.

This is how Aly's hand looks today.

Bath Time

Aly & Izy test out their new bath seat made buy Safety 1st,

I really like this seat because it hooks onto the side of the

bathtup so the seat doesn't tip over!
