Madeyln's Hemangioma

We had an appointment with the pediatric opthamologist yesterday regarding Mady's eye. It is definitely a cause for concern and we have to take her every 2 weeks. The growth will push in her eye and cause her eye shape to change. She does have a sigmatism in each eye, but not enough to require glasses as of yet. The doctor says this is the time that it will grow and grow rapidly. She wants us to call if we notice her eyelid covering any of her pupil and/or if that eye becomes lazy. If any of these happen, they will put her on an oral steroid. There are of course side effects. The biggest one being the chance of it stunting her growth. For any child that's not good... especially a preemie. She did say that it would only be stunted during treatment. The other alternative is surgery. However, because it's not a solid area, it's not easy to remove and can bleed alot. We are really hoping that it stops growth and we don't have to explore those options.
