We went to Children's Hospital on Tues! The place is amazing! We were able to see 4 doctors all with different opinions of Jack's eye and the severity of it. We were told to stop feeding him at 10:45am, so that if he got a steroid shot his stomach would be empty. We finally saw the surgeon who would give the shot and they scheduled him into the OR(they have to put him under). He was finally taken back at around 5:30pm. Poor guy had not eaten all day! Anyway, he recieved his shot and now we are waiting for the hemangioma to shrink. He will get a shot every 2 to 2 1/2 months until he is 10-12 months old and then he will have surgery to remove the growth and extra skin. I am sure he will have a cool scar to show off for the rest of his life!! Here is a picture of his eye after a week. It is starting to open up slowly.
This is a cute photo of Jack in his Bumbo! Isn't he adorable!
