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.

13 days post op
The dots are taking a little longer to clear up this time. They increased the joules so I'm sure that's why. He was looking a little disheveled here. Haha.

Laser Treatment #3
Elliot went back to U of M on Friday (Oct. 7, 2011) for treatment #3. We decided to give him a dose of Versed this time as he is clingy lately. This was definitely a great choice. No tears this time. He was happy go lucky even in recovery. We saw a different doctor this time, the one we had our first consultation with. Same office but different dermatologist. I think he did an amazing job, he got the "spots" much closer than they have before. We again decided to skip the eyelid to minimize swelling. Now onto the pictures.
I'll post more pics of the healing process. I hope we see a great improvement after this treatment, I'm very optimistic about it. :) Thanks for following along!
