First tummy time

Daddy and mommy say I need to exercise, and I was like what??? So they put me on this play mat thingy, and it feel so comfortable...

It is so comfortable that this is the end result

Zzzzzz..............exercising in my dream

I'm going home with mommy and daddy!

Yeah! I'm finally got to go home after spending seven days in the hospital.  Mommy and daddy are so happy and prepare some fancy clothes for me!

A+ for my first test!

After being seen by a lot of specialists, the doctors have me sit in my car seat for two hours.  Mommy and daddy tell me that it is a test.  In order to go home, I must do well in the test.  Man.......I'm only a week old and I'm having my first test??? 

Well, I guess it isn't a very hard test, as all I do is just sleep (Zzzzz......).  I think I slept way beyond two hours.  

Go to Seattle Children's hospital

After staying in the NICU at Overlake Hospital for three days, the nurse is putting me in a fancy box.  I see mommy and daddy waves at me and tell me that I'm going for a ride.

All buckle up, and off we go!!!!

Just like what the doctors had expected when I was still in mommy's tummy, I'm diagnosis with Lymphatic Malformation (LM). I'm not quite sure what LM means, but here's what the doctors had told mommy and daddy:

LMs do not invovle blood vessels.  Instead, they involve the lymphatic, or body fluid, system.  They result from a blockage or defect of the lymphatic vessels as they are forming.  When the lymphatic channels are blocked, this results in excess fluid build-up in both the t issue and the vessels.  When this is close to the surface of the skin, you can see a prominent enlargement of the area.


My affected areas are all on the left side of my body: neck, arm, chest.  The condition doesn't really bother me, the only thing that bother me is that I can not spend more time with mommy and daddy as the nurse is taking me to the NICU for further observation!
