Sorry I haven't been posting daily. It's been a rough week. My grandma is in the hospital with blood clots in her lungs, my husband has had a killer toothache, and yesterday was my birthday.
Elliot is healing up very nicely once again. Here are some pics from the last week. (starting with earlier and ending with today.)
Today he has a huge pimple on his right cheek. Poor little guy is just spotted all over! Such a happy lil guy though. <3
Our son Elliot was born with a facial port wine stain. This blog is to document our journey through doctors appointments, laser treatments, and other things about his wonderful life.

Laser #2 Recap
Elliots treatment went well. I chose to not laser the top eyelid for less swelling this time. He's handling it like a little trooper. I was afraid with his crawling that the swelling would really bother him but he hasn't seemed to notice. The swelling reduces quite a bit throughout the day. The dots are becoming darker and probably will for the next day or so.
The dermatologist said the results from his first treatment were great, even better than average. She still claims we're looking at 6-12 tx total. I pray that's all it takes (besides maintenance tx).
It's funny because he wakes up way before he should once he's in recovery. He's such a mommy's boy (and I'm sure he wants to eat too, haha.) I told the nurse absolutely no formula this time. He woke up crying in recovery so they allowed me to go in and he was back out immediately after latching on. =) He's my world.
I'll continue posting updates and pics through the healing. Feel free to leave comments or questions if you'd like. Thanks!
