UltraSound January 5th 2012

Alexis had her UltraSound today.  January is a busy month for the Dr. appt.'s. 

She saw Shriner's Children's Hosp. on January 3rd.  They want to send Alexis for some more tests.  

The UltraSound is to test for Wilms Tumor.  Praying, to rule OUT this.  

Another thing that they think Alexis has is called HemiHypertrophy.

Alexis' legs are different lengths.  Also, Alexis was born with birth marks all over her face, head, neck and under her arm.   When she was born, they were a dark purple.  We were told they were called Port Wine Stain.  

So, with the hypertrophy & birth marks, makes them think that there might be other things wrong with Alexis. 

I've posted all the other things related. 

It is scary.  Hard to be a mother, watching your child suffer and going through this stuff.  

I keep wondering why is this happening to Alexis?   I just can't explain what it is like....having to take your kid to the Dr. all the time. 
Having to come up with an explanation to tell your child.  Then being a STRONG parent and not break down and cry.  


It SUX!  It's not fair.  But we try to keep our heads up and our spirits high. 


I usually try to treat Alexis to something fun after an appt.  And even sometime the night before. 

Since last year, we have been getting our pedicures done together as a girls night out before the MRI's that she has. 

The other night, Alexis says,  Boy, I am in need of a pedi!  LOL!
