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.

Grafting round 2

Addi had her skin grafting surgery August 21, 2009:

The bubbles in her chest and leg are coming out! The expander in her chest has been causing a little concern over the last couple of weeks. It just didn't look right. The insicion where they put the expander in has become so thin...we knew that it needed to come out soon. Yesterday, Addi developed a little black spot just below the incision. If the surgery wasn't already scheduled, we would have taken pictures to email to the doctor, but we just waited until he came to see us pre-surgery.
He looked at it and said that the expander had ruptured through the skin...no big deal, it was coming out anyway, just in time. Other than that, we are hoping for minimal complications.
