Hello everyone!! Merry Christmas!! I hope the holidays are treating everyone well.
I have received news from Susanne and it looks like Mackenzie will be having her first surgery in February, on her hand. Susanne and Mackenzie's father haven't agreed yet as to whether they will allow doctors to attempt surgery on both hands or just one at this time. Since being diagnosed in July the tumors on Mackenzies hands have doubled in size. Once the doctors remove the tumors, they will be sent to pathology to be tested to determine whether or not the tumors are cancerous. In the meantime, mini Mack is in a lot of pain and her little hands are bothering her. February is a long time away.... heres to hoping they can get both hands done at once and that the tumors are not cancerous.
After the doctors remove the tumors, they will have to do bone grafts to try and ensure that Mackenzies hands keep growing normally with minimal deformity. Hopefully the grafts take. If they don't, the results could be disastrous. Please keep Mackenzie in your thoughts and prayers. 2013 is going to be a challenging year for her and her family.
