Mommy report: Granulation, day 6

We had a quick visit with Dr. B this morning, just long enough for him to confirm that Braska's issue is pyogenic granuloma. He said we'll have to see about having it removed. He would have done it, except we can't be sure she'd be still enough for the procedure. Actually, we're SURE she wouldn't be still. (Graphic warning, again.) If you dare, here's today's pic. We called the GI office to see what's next. They wanted to see it themselves, but chose to go the digital picture route, so we sent them both of the pics from today and yesterday. Of course, they didn't call back before the end of the day, and now we wait til Wednesday.

We treated with the silver nitrate again tonight, as the nurse from the GI office said to continue to do that once a day. Braska didn't care for that at all. It obviously hurt her. And they've told us that it wouldn't have any feeling, so I don't know what's up. For now we wait...

  2. Oh no! I hate that she's having to go through this - it can't be much fun for her or you and M! You are in my prayers.

  3. Braska, Your granulation tissue looks EXACTLY like Tommy's! We are about three weeks post one application of silver nitrate, and it's back for us.

    I did hear from someone else that once they went to a smaller sized mickey the granulation tissue stopped for them. Every baby is different but I'm asking our GI folks if there is any merit to that idea.

    Happy New Year Braska's family! Your baby is soooo beautiful and our family LOVES to see all the pictures posted.

  4. Aww, Braska- I bet that thing in your stomach doesn't feel too good right now. I'm sorry that it's giving you problems, hopefully the doctor's will come up with an effective solution. Good thing you were blessed with a very observant and caring mommy! Happy New Year Braska!

  5. Oh NO! How stressful for all of you.
    I missed the last few updates on this.
    I'm hoping this gets resolved quickly.

Mommy report: Chatty girl

Braska's been just loving her words lately. She's still signing some, mostly when we're in public or around strangers, but she's adding more words all the time. Many of her words are just attempts at the actual word, but that's where we all start, right?!? We're not saying that she'll be giving speeches next month, but we are very proud that she's become such a mimic and that she is loving using so many sounds. We practice often, just running through her words, signs, and tricks. She especially loves to chime in with videos of herself, so I've been working on compiling all her favorites for her to work with. As I was editing this, she was sitting here saying the words over and over. So funny to hear her talking to herself on the screen and loving it. So here's a peek at some clips from our practice session tonight. Some words are more obvious than others. They are all great attempts, though, and we'll celebrate that! Make an on-line

Nebraska meets Indiana

Braska's reaction to meeting the very kind Rory Feek and his beautiful daughter Indy.  I missed the part where Braska said Indy was sooooooooooo cute!  :) Our dream would be a photo showing the two most beautiful "states" together, right?!?  :)
