She’s here! My 2nd daughter was born on 2/27/21. Born in the middle of a global pandemic. She’s my rainbow baby and she’s perfect. I’m sitting next to her crib in the hospital now. A few weeks ago they noticed something in the liver from a routine sonogram. After she was born they ran some blood tests and the results were concerning so they transferred her to a hospital in NYC. They think it’s a hemangioma (benign vascular tumor). That’s great news considering they do not think it is cancer but the road ahead will not be easy. First off, we have to do more blood tests, another ultrasound, and MRI to gather more information. Then the doctors and surgeons will figure out what is the safest treatment option. The hemangioma is not necessarily the dangerous part…it’s how her body will react to this mass. Will her heart have to work extra hard? It’s scary to think that this may be life altering but I’m taking one day at a time.
