We went back for the test results and we got great news, we dont  have to go back for a year! Unless Kimber starts messing with her nose like it bothers her. They are still not sure what it is, they think most likely that it is a strawberry hemangioma under the skin instead of on top. But they cant be sure.  Now Kimbers weighs 22 pounds and 4 ounces, well as of last Wednesday, she is growing so fast! She is rolling over and can sit up if I sit her up, She cant stop herself from falling over yet, but we are working on that one.  And she doesnt sleep through the night yet, but I know she will soon. I am excited just thinking about sleeping and not getting up twice a night! lol. 

Kimberly no longer has an apnea monitor, finally!  At her last well baby check they said no more. She got all of her shots and the flu shot, she only cried for about 10 seconds or so. Now I have to get all the kids the flu shot. Kimberly right now has a cough and a sneeze and runny nose, she is extremely grumpy. To say the least. I just got her to sleep, hopefully she will feel better when she wakes up. We are going camping at the end of the month, and then my husband is taking our 12 year old daughter, Cheyenne, deer hunting in Colorado. If she has good grades. So she is trying. I have tons to do before all the kids get home, so till I have more time....:)

So we went back to Stanford Childrens hospital on the 10th of Aug.  Kimberly had a MRI, and they had to use antestesia to sedate her in order to do a contrast dye via IV.  So then we got to stay overnight for observation, due to her apnea issues, which she has not had an episode for about 3 weeks! WOO WOO... we go back in November to the vascular anomolie clinic again, the radiologist and drs are still not sure what it is on her nose. But the great news is the epidermal nevus is only skin deep, it does not continue through her soft tissues. Or bone.  :)  She is almost 6 months old, and she rolled over yesterday for the first time. She is doing so great! I will post more pics soon.

So we went back, to the Vascular Anomoley Clinic.  I talked to one dr, then another dr, then 8 drs came in, it was crowded! Lol.  Then the pediatric Ear nose and throat specialist left and went and got another dr to come in, all the drs examined her nose, a few examined her nevus, and one looked over all of her skin, they talked to me about her nose and I told them how when she cries it gets darker almost black, so after they were turning her head and pushing on her nose she began to cry, and sure enough it darkened. then one dr said it actually enlarges the tip of her nose when she cries. so they all looked again.  Then the went out and two came back to talk to me about treatment.  They want me to bring her back for an MRI, but to do an MRI in an infant they said they do it under general antestesia, so I am of course worried about that.  They said an MRI is the best way for them to diagnose what type of hemanginoma it is.  OR it could be a specific kind of cyst that occurs in infants while in the womb.  They are concerned about her stopping breathing and that there is still no reason why.  It is begining to upset me because her pediatrician never downloads the info from her monitor, and it has a memory on it, and it is 59 percent full, I want to know why she stops breathing and why they are not trying to figure out why.  So next time it happens I am going to ask to  be refered to a respitrory specialist.  Doing nothing is not something I feel comfortable with.  Kimbers appointment was at 2 yesterday, so I left about 10:15.  and got back home at 7:50. It made for a long day.  Traffic is so bad in the bay area! It took me over an hour to go 15 miles.  I am going to look into taking the BART. I saw a station a few blocks from the hospital, and that would save me that area of traffic and bridge tolls.  I would have to drive about 50 miles then take a train the rest. And that is the worst part, the area where the train would take me.  Now I just have to wait for them to scheduel the anthestesia study.  (SP)
