Well, our little girl was the first of 4 kids to be admitted to the children's hospital this weekend!! She has a birthmark in the fat crease of her right thigh by her groin that ended up ulcerating and basically turned into an open wound that won't heal. After 3 days in the Children's Hospital and some serious IV antibiotics, it turns out it is called an ulcerating hemangioma. It is a vascular birthmark that has it's own blood supply and grows on its own for about 6 months then typically shrinks and disappears by 1 year old. Alayah's is unfortunately in a location that constantly rubs and opens the skin covering the hemangioma and so it is constantly open and at a high risk of infection. She sees a specialist tomorrow to give us some long term answers. Wish us luck as it is very painful for our little princess.
