Discouraged....

Caroline's hemangioma is growing again. I've been suspecting it and questioning it for over a week, constantly examining it everyday trying to decide if it is truly getting bigger or if it's just my imagination. But it's getting bigger. The growth is not as rapid as in the early weeks before steroids but it is growing nonetheless. I emailed Caroline's doctor at Duke yesterday to let him know of my concerns. I'm going to try to get her in to be seen by him earlier than her scheduled appointment in February. The thought of having to put her back on the oral steroid is disheartening, to say the least. I'm hoping that Dr. Prose may have some other options for us. Please pray for Caroline and whatever may be ahead of her in terms of treatment, and that Zack and myself would be provided with the information and wisdom needed to make the right decisions. I'll update again when I hear from Dr. Prose.
