Nevus Sebaceous

This was an extremely busy weekend for the Lees. Giuliana had an appointment with the dermatologist on Saturday. She was born with a tiny bald spot on the right side of her head. The dermatologist confirmed it is a Nevus Sebaceous. It is a tiny round spot that is slightly raised and sounds like it is an overgrowth of sebaceous glands. He said it is nothing for us to worry about right now, but when she is around 8-10 years old, she will have to have it removed because it can become cancerous. Again the dreaded CANCER word. That is always hard to hear and I think the doctor sensed our fear and reassured us that it should be ok for now. The area should grow proportionately as she grows. We are to keep an eye on it and contact him if we see any changes, otherwise come back in 8 years. With a new referral of course. Anyone else have to deal with referrals? Did you catch my attempt to be funny?

Gunnar also had a playoff game. His baseball team is in 1st place. This is the first time he is on a winning team! They played the 8th place team and won 17-0.

Giuliana's Speech Therapist also came for the first time. She is really nice and said that Joe and I are doing exactly what we are supposed to be doing to ensure Giuliana is developing on target. She gave us some exercises to do with Giuliana to strengthen her lips and make her aware of her cheeks, lips, and tongue.


We were at a picnic on Sunday, and it was really cute, Gunnar
and Giovanna were playing cornhole together. It was soooooo
hot. The poor girls were a hot mess!

Despite the torturing weather, Giuliana was able to keep
smiling! I love when she smiles. She smiles with her entire face!

Gunnar's new thing is building a house of cards. He took
a picture of the most cards he has ever stacked in the
one day that he started building! We are proud of his masterpiece.
