Happy Mother's Day!
I'm obviously going to have to post here more regularly than just on the major holidays.
This will be kind of short as I don't have Mary Alice's wordsmithing skills. Hopefully I can free time for her to write a more detailed update.
At the moment, Arielle is receiving prednisolone (an oral steroid) to arrest the growth of her hemangioma. It does appear to be helping, although we did back off the dosage a little too quickly two weeks ago. We've since increased it to the maintenance level. We go to Houston later this month to visit with Dr. Denise Metry, who specializes in PHACE syndrome. We're looking forward to what she can tell us about Arielle's case.
Thanks for checking in on us - it's hard to believe tomorrow is Arielle's three month birthday!
