Day #2 at home

March 2010

March 7, 2010 we were blessed with the arrival of Brooklyn Marie Vance. She was beautiful! I could see, however, that there was something dark on her head/forehead. She was still covered in gunk that I didn't really think anything of it. The doctor said it's a birthmark. No biggy, I thought, because her hair will grow and you won't be able to see it. The next morning the doctor said that it's like a mole, but it will turn malignant so it has to be removed. She said it's a "hairy nevi".
There's not really anything online about hairy nevi's. All we found was a site with some statistics, that's it! The doctor said that we'll be referred to a plastic surgeon who would remove it in a few years. So now we just wait...

Welcome to our Blog!

Hello everyone!
Well I've never blogged before but I thought this would be a great way to share what's going on in our lives, especially now that Brooklyn has to have her surgeries sooner rather than later. This will save me explaining things hundreds of times and getting things mixed up, confused, leaving things out, etc. I want to make sure everyone knows what's going on because we need your prayers. Feel free to give our blog address to anyone who would be interested in reading about what we're up to. Come back often because I'll be updating this whenever I have any new information! :o)
