Autumn is doing good she is getting around great with her leg she still hobbles here and there but she is doing good. She goes back to the doctor on April 10th and we will decide when he does the other surgery to remove the Aneursym Cyst.
THIS IS WHAT I RESEARCHED AND READ UP WITH THE CYST IN DAUGHTER'S LEG:
Aneurysmal bone cyst.....This is evidently what daughter has in her bone!
The tumor can have an occurrence anywhere that there is bone. Approximate percentages by sites are as shown:
- Skull and mandible (4%)
- Spine (16%)
- Clavicle and ribs (5%)
- Upper extremity (21%)
- Pelvis and sacrum (12%)
- Femur (13%)
- Lower leg (24%)
- Foot (3%)
While an ABC is certainly worrisome, it may comfort you to know that these are benign cysts (non-cancerous) that don’t spread. Here are a few important things to know about an ABC:
- An aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign, blood-filled growth that occurs in the bone.
- Bone cysts are not cancerous.
- ABCs are most common during a child’s teenage years.
- They can occur in virtually any bone in the arms, legs, trunk or skull as well as the vertebrae and knee.
- While it’s benign, it can be quite destructive because it deforms the bone and can cause fractures.
- ABC’s don’t spread but can be quite damaging to the bone and can come back after they are removed.
- ABC’s can cause pain and swelling around the site of the cyst.
- Surgery is often necessary to remove the cyst.
- With surgery, these cysts are highly curable, although they do grow back in some cases.
- Skull and mandible (4%)
- Spine (16%)
- Clavicle and ribs (5%)
- Upper extremity (21%)
- Pelvis and sacrum (12%)
- Femur (13%) DAUGHTER'S WAS IN THE FEMUR BONE!
- Lower leg (24%)
- Foot (3%)
So Liberty is my typical little 2 year old that likes to scream, and through some big tantrums when she doesn't get her way and you would thank she was the first child and only child for 5 years LOL. She is still working on potty training and its a chore but she has been getting it here and their. I just can't wait until she does because I can't afford these pullups anymore! So that is all about Liberty!
Well that is our new year so far since it has started and Oh I forgot Autumn lost 4 1/2 pounds this last month so proud of her and we our still working on losing more.
God Bless everyone and enjoy the rest of February and the mild Winter we had!
