On the first weekend in May, our baby girl had surgery. She was born with a hemangioma on her libia (her private area). The doctors said it should just go away and shouldn't bother her.
For the last few weeks she has had this blood curtling scream and we had no idea what was wrong. So I took her to a doctor, not her doctor he wasnt available, but another one who said she had an ear infection....well the weekend went by and still nothing it got even worse. During her bath I noticed that this hemangioma wasn't looking normal, but who was i to judge what was normal or not. Monday morning rolls around and I promptley take her to her doctor. And he said there is NO ear infection. He looked at the hemangioma and it was pussy and an open wound by now and decided he wanted it removed. Thats what was causing all the pain.
So after a few phone calls he found the ONLY doctor in Spokane that would do it on a child do young. We just had to wait a week.....okay whats one more week. The day of teh surgery rolls around and i cant feed her for 6 hours before because she has to be under anastesia. That was painful for both of us. By the time they came and got her we were both crying and Evan didnt know that to do with himself.
Doctor Elizabeth Petersen was so amazing, she is a perfectionist and is so personable. We couldn't have asked for a better doctor.
The transformation even the same afternoon she had the surgery her personality was so different, she became this happy child that could move freely with very minimal pain (im sure the stitches bothered her) it was amazing!! I actually dont dread changing her diaper now, instead of her screaming in pain she just smiles at me. It is something i am VERY grateful for.
Another bonus is she now only wakes us once sometimes twice during the night instead of 6 or more times. YAY!!!!
