Ava's Hemangioma Update

So as I have mentioned before all 3 of my children have hemangioma birthmarks. If you have been following my blog from the beginning you know that Ava has had several surgeries to correct hers. This past Friday marked her 4th surgery. The tumor had just gotten too large and was starting to hinder the use of her hand so it needed to be taken care of. Besides her Vascular birthmark doctor this  surgery required a hand surgeon. If you follow me on Instagram or know us in real life you know that for some crazy reason insurance isn't being too helpful with paying for this much needed surgery, but momma cant afford to raise her blood pressure right now so we will save that for another day. So for now, how about just a quick lil update on my amazing girl!

 These show Ava's wrist before surgery. The Dr's were able to completely remove the whole tumor with this surgery which is a huge relief to Frank and I. While in there they also repaired a tendon that become spilt by the tumor. Because Ava is so young we weren't aware of this, but probably would of found out if it had gone untreated.

 My baby when we met her in the recovery room. She needed some extra oxygen and of course this made me a nervous wreck. All was OK though and she was extremely sleepy for a few hours.

 She seriously would of slept all day, we had to tickle her feet to get her up!

Children are SO resilient, you would never know everything this girly went through the way she was acting. Shes waving that heavy cast around like its nothing! I have to watch her like a hawk to make sure she is taking it easy! Here she is playing with her new princess castle mommy and daddy surprised her with.

Today she had her drain removed and we go back in 2 weeks to hopefully get her cast off. Hopefully this is it for Miss Ava because Frankie and Gianna are up next. The doctors are going to do a study on us, I would love to know why all 3 of my children get these, it boggles my mind!
