Mommy report: Granulation, day 14

Yes, it's still here. It hasn't gone away. It's not as big as it was, but it has settled in a plateau of sorts and doesn't seem to be decreasing anymore. It's been the same for several days now. It doesn't look as bad, for sure. If you want to see, click here. See? Not nearly as bad as it was.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. The GI doctor told me I could call them and they'd set up a surgical excision (removal) of it, which is fine with me, but it means another trip and procedure. I'm debating just giving it more time, as it doesn't really bother her, and I keep it covered in a gauze dressing, so it's not making the mess it once did. I think for now we'll wait and see, maybe for a couple more days or the rest of this week.

  1. I'm sorry that you are still having to deal with this...I can hear/feel the exhaustion of having to work with it...I'm praying still, and very thankful that it no longer seems to be bothering Braska - that is reassuring at least.

  2. It definitely looks better - but I'm sorry that it seems to have plateaued. I think if it's not bothering her, a little more time wouldn't hurt - maybe it will still go away on it's own. Still thinking of you!

  3. That looks better!

    We had to discontinue the steroid cream on Tommy as it 'thins the skin' and can only be used for two weeks. I'm not going to do the silver nitrate stick again as I agree with you, there are nerves there and it hurts our baby.

    We will wait this out. I use a split gauze to keep things dry and tidy. We still have the Bard and believe we will stay with that and not change to the Mickey (although I would LOVE to hear your thoughts of the PEG/Bard vs Mickey).

    I don't want to cauterize or anything drastic. We will wait for Tommy's to change size again.

  4. That does look much better. We'll keep praying that it will go away.

  5. That must be such a worry for you. It does look way better hopefully it will start improving again and just go away. Since it isn't bothering her waiting may be the best choice.

  6. Your mommy's wise; when things plateau, waiting is giving God time to do His thing in His time:o) Glad it isn't bothering you!

A good fashion statement

I’ve heard people talk about a fa-shun stayt-munt .  Mommy told me how to spell it right so you would know what I mean…fashion statement.  Have you heard about this?  I’m not sure, but I think it’s when you put on pretty clothes and then tell someone something.  And I have something to tell you!! So here’s the pretty clothes… these were our Sunday pictures from yesterday.  Daddy took them while Mommy was getting ready for church. Me and KiKi were playing and we didn’t stand still to do good Sunday pictures.  But Daddy sneaked in some good ones. And now, here’s what I’ve got to tell you….. To celebrate my new pretty blog that we worked really hard on, me and Mommy are going to be giving some fun things away to somebody who likes to read our stories!  Do you like to get stuff for just reading my stories? And here’s how you can get stuff… You’re going to like it!  And there’s more than one thing!  1. Leave a comment on THIS POST TODAY (Monday) for an “early entry.”  (That mea

Blue is cool!

I found a new fun show this week. There's lots of singing and dancing, and I like to do both those things! It's got a little dog in it named Blue. And he leaves clues for his friends to find. I like to scoot up close to the TV, so Mommy puts me on my little stool that I use for stand and sit practice. That way I stay in one place. Tonight's show was really fun and I got all excited! ( Mommy note: Remember, you can click on the pictures to make them bigger. The look on that little face is worth it! :o)
