Elliot's spots are pretty much gone now. I think the blending technique worked pretty good. I can already see a decrease in the blotchiness from previous surgeries. He goes back to the U of M the 2nd Wednesday in November to get treatment #13. I think our plan is to do 2 more full treatments, followed by 2-3 blending treatments before wrapping it up for the initial set of treatments. Of course he will likely need maintenance treatments, but I am very hopeful about the new cream they are doing clinical trials on that will help prevent the vessels from reforming.
We plan on putting Elliot in preschool next Fall so I'd like to stop for a while once that starts. I don't want him to have to deal with treatments during school time for various reasons. This kid has an esteem higher than the Sears Tower and is so lovable and likable: I want him to always hold on to that self esteem. :) Here are a couple photos from the pumpkin patch and geocaching today. Lighting wasn't the best.
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.

Love to Read?
I've been doing this blog for our son Elliot for a couple years now. I finally decided to branch off and create one just for me! :) Reading is my favorite (besides my family) so I created a blog to review books and post other things just about books. If you like to read please check out the blog!
