bye bye laser!

For those of you who haven't met Tyler yet he has a birthmark on his head called a hemangioma. It's a type of birthmark that will grow for up to year and will eventually shrink and just disappear - I had one on my lower neck and it faded over time. Doctors don't usually do much about them unless they need to because they're common and resolve themselves. It's amazing how many people see him and tell me they had one, their kid did or someone else they know had one. About a month or so ago Tyler's starting bleeding so we had to take him to a dermatologist to get it lasered. He's gone about 4 times and we went yesterday for our weekly visit and she said it's all healed!! The next step is to put a gel on it that will help it shrink so we don't have any more problems. It's not going to happen over night and may take a few months, but hopefully we'll see a difference. Although Tyler will miss flirting with his favorite nurse every week (he's quite the charmer) I'm glad the laser treatments are over! Let the shrinking begin...
