May

May has arrived. How quickly is this year flying by? 
This year has been more focusing on me. After my eldest daughter had scoliosis surgery and my youngest had the last of her birthmark removed (which she then popped the stitches of her wound).
Thankfully both girls recovered well. My baby had about 6mths of recovery with the skin being grown back.

This was taken during the healing process. It was a very scary ordeal for both mother and child. The only thing I can say in help is that with time, her back has healed up!
The surgeons removed 2 layers of skin to remove the pigmentation of the older skin. This was the second op. The first was a great success. The second had this happen because she was a 1 year older (2 yrs old) than the first and she had a temper tanty and tore open the wound. The doctors debated about stitching it up but believe the skin was too tight.  With daily dressing and keeping the area clean but moist it healed up nicely.
The birth mark was about 1/3 of her back and was constantly changing. The doctors was worried that it could turn cancerous when older and having it removed while she was little was a better idea. Even thou it was a nightmare at times. She's now at kinder! With a little triangle scar and a bright sunny dispersion!
