Addison was born with a Giant Congenital Nevus on her left leg. The journey is a struggle. Decisions are hard. We hope that Addison's experience can help others dealing with the same issue. While we know that there are others that are more extreme, we hope that in sharing her story, we can provide support and encouragement. Leave a comment, let us know you've been here.

Wanna See?

We are at the "change the bandage everyday, and use these really expensive oil emulsion bandages, and gauze-that-the-insurance-doesn't-cover-because-they-are available-over-the-counter stage" of recovery with Addison.  She has decided this time that she will help, so she does the unwrapping - and does a pretty dang good job of it.

Addi still isn't allowed to walk, but she has figured out how to scoot all over, and crawls around pretty fast.   After some discussion with her pre-school teacher, Addi went back to school last week.  She was a little apprehensive to go.  She was afraid that the other kids would make fun of her.  I assured her that Mrs. Cossa wouldn't let them tease her, so she went, and had a great time.
The pictures on her were taken on Thursday, just one week and one day after surgery.  Since then, the heel portion has started to look worse, so we are having it checked out later today.  Other than that, it really does look good!

And, if you don't want to see the pictures, stop here.  If you would like to see them, scroll down.
