m.i.a.

Tyson wrote this description of what has been happening to our little Dahlia for our family blog.  Here is why we have been missing in action.

This poor girl has had a tough time since her hemangioma (big, puffy birthmark) ulcerated almost two months ago. This happens to a very small percentage of babies. We've learned around 10% of babies get hemangioma s (which are benign; they run their course and go away over time) but an even smaller percentage of those babies have them ulcerate, which is, according to our pediatrician/dermatologist, one of the most painful things that can happen to a baby. It's up there with third degree burns... hence the "poor girl." After a lot of dr. visits and failed attempts at remedying her heartbreakingly painful condition we finally found an ointment used for diabetics with foot ulcers that seems to be doing the trick.
