Craziness at the Butlers



I have not written or updated for awhile, and I decided I should let you know how the last couple weeks have been. Two weeks ago on Monday Brittyn's Hygroma came back. So needless to say we spent a lot of time in the Dr.s office. We took her down to see the Specialists in Scottsdale to see what he thought and what I should do when it comes back again. He wanted to have her get another CT scan once all the infection was gone so he could see exactly where the Hygroma is starting. Once he sees the results from that then he will wants to try to do surgery and take it out some time this summer. Yeah!!! (I think) I'm a little bit worried because it can be a pretty scary surgery. But- I really like the Dr. and I totally trust him. I think I would rather have it gone than worrying about it every three months. We had her on 3 antibiotics and she was not liking that. About the 10th day she broke out into hives every where. They were so bad and they would not go away for about 2 days. Once I got rid of the hives she decided to start throwing everything up that she would eat or drink. So now I think she has that viral infection that everyone is getting. We are on our 4th day with that, and can't wait for her to quit. My poor baby has such a weak immune system right now. I know there will be light at the end of the tunnel and everything is going to be o.k. I always tell myself that things could be a lot worse. I'm grateful that I only have these to deal with. I posted one picture of Brittyn and her hives. I will let you know how the CT scan and possibly surgery goes. I hope every one has a good day.

I would guess one of those darn antibiotics gave her those hives...now the question is which one. She still looks awfully cute with all those hives in the bathtub pictures...I hope everything gets all better and let us know when she will have her surgery - too bad you can't come to "Banford" for her surgery! Just kidding...
