Well...Addisyn had her 2nd of 4 Laser Treatments on Friday in San Francisco! She did really well once again...

John, Addisyn and I went to San Francisco the day before the surgery and stayed in the Ronald McDonald House while Brysen stayed with Dan Amma! Thursday was our 4 year Anniversary so since we weren't able to go out to dinner or anything we just walked around San Francisco and relaxed!

We arrived at UCSF at 6:30 am on Friday morning and were very excited to have this treatment done once again! Addisyn has an amazing doctor and we just love her! Her name is Dr. Frieden and we highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Once we arrived, we had to do all of the regular paperwork and do the Pre-Op Stuff...Dr. Frieden met us in the Pre-Op room and took a bunch of pictures of Addisyn's face and Scalp to keep track of her progress! Dr. Frieden agreed with me that it was a good thing she did not laser the top of her head so we could compare the lightening on her face to the top of her head! I think we all agree that the results were truly amazing after only 1 treatment.

Last time Dr. Frieden chose not to laser Addisyn's eyelids since it was her first time however this time she did both eyelids and a few spots in her left ear along with her whole face!

When we saw Addisyn, we were surprised that it didn't look as bad as last time although it is still pretty dramatic! Dr. Frieden explained to us that it was because it was a smaller target area this time since so much has already lightened. She also told us that she turned up the energy on the Laser Machine to get the best results!

Addisyn took almost an hour to wake up this time but it looked like all the other kid's were taking a lot longer than last time as well...Although I hate that we have to go through this, I am greatful that we are not the only one's! We saw and talked to a few other families that were there last time as well so that was comforting!

I will be taking pictures daily once again to show the progress of Addisyn's laser treatment!

Not to change the subject but tonight is the last time Addisyn will be taking Phenobarbital! We are super excited yet super scared at the same time! Please keep praying that she stays seizure free and doesn't have to be put back on that Yucky medicine! She is doing awesome and is showing signs of improvement in different area's each and every day!
