Sydney's Hemangiomas Laser Treatments and Propranolol
Our daughter, Sydney, was born with segmental hemangiomas. We met with 10 doctors prior to meeting Dr. Waner, none of them knew what to do about the ...
I cant believe how different the US seem to treat vascular birthmarks! In
the UK they definately have a wait and see approach rather than
aggressively treating the birthmark which can sometimes be frustrating. My
daughter has a Port Wine Stain which will never completely disappear - she
also has Sturge Weber Syndrome (birthmark is on her brain too) which causes
seizures/epilepsy and she has to have regular checks to make sure she isnt
developing glaucoma in her eyes...
We were informed that twins in Europe with similar conditions as Sydney's,
who were placed on Propranolol for high bp, had significant improvements
and reductions in the growth of their hemangiomas. Her cardiologist cleared
her, and we were informed that if successful, she could avoid the surgery
altogether. Within hours of her first dose, we saw improvement. She was
able to wean off of steroids, and eventually stop taking propranolol with
no further issues.
Judi N commented: ok, I totally balled my eyes out. This is a great video
and it just makes me think that I wish I new how to get it out there more
so more people could be helped with this condition. What list did you send
it to? Did you send it to all the doctors you visited prior to finding the
last doctor? Maybe her pediatrician could also send it out to their e-mail
list. I will send it to Tenafly pediatrics as well. Amazing, great job,
beautiful song.
Re: Propranolol- Its so important to note that Sydney had become steroid
dependant. Every time we attempted to wean her off, the hemangiomas would
quickly return to their state of rapid growth. She was therefore scheduled
for surgical excision of the hemangioma growing behind her eyelid. As you
will see in the video, her eyelid grew so large from the hemangioma, that
its covering of her eye could have led to permanent blindness. (Continued

Your daughter is beautiful and this video brought tears to my eyes. My son
has a hemangioma on his right side. His is ulcerated and horribly painful.
I can barely hold my baby now. He is almost 6 months old and yesterday it
started to spontaneously bleed. He is on the propranol treatment but
although the size maybe better the ulceration is not. Was the laser helpful
at all for you because that is our next course at this point,
in the UK the consultants didnt seem to know what to call Hallie's
birthmark at first - they kept calling it a hermangioma and I got my hopes
up (reading things on Google) and thought it would eventually disappear
altogether but a PWS wont. Hallie is due to have her first laser treatment
in the next few months. Visit my page on Facebook - Hallie's Story. Your
daughter is beautiful : ) x
@lynnieguzman Thank you for your comment. Putting this montage together
wasnt easy. We are happy that it has provided support for another family
dealing with hemangiomas. All the best to your little girl for a complete
and successful recovery. Please let me know if I can provide you with any
of our resources. You can reach me by email at [email protected]
You have a tough little gir and I'm so happy that everything worked out for
you guys. I would like to ask a question. My daughter under went her first
lazer treatment at seven months she has a large port wine stain that covers
90% of her right leg and I was wondering if your lil ones cleared up
complety?
Please let me know what doctors told you about using pranolol. My four
month old niece has this and the doctor has offer the medications but we
are scared of the side effects. She only has one hemangioma in her forhead.
her name is Sydney Nicole. Thank you, Jazmin please e-mail me to my youtube
account.
Erika- please contact me directly at [email protected] I would be
happy to discuss our daughter's situation and recovery further with you. In
short, yes, everything has cleared up with minimal, minimal remaining marks
that are barely noticeable. Best regards-
It's so good to know that she has always been a happy and beautiful girl!
And the hemangioma's treatment was successful. I have one in my face, very
tiny though, and doesn't really bothers me. But I think that the treatment
is always a good choice.
Amazing!!! My daughter has 7 hemangiomas with the one on her gave being the
worst. Syds story allows me to see light at the end of our tunnel. thank
you for sharing. What a beautiful girl!
How awful for your family to have to go through this, but how wonderful to
have come out the other side with a beautiful, healthy child. Thank you for
sharing your story!
Beautiful! Beautiful little girl and awesome video diary! You did find the
right dr! He is amazing! Best to you! Thanks for helping promote birthmark
awareness!
Amazing! i'm glad she's doing so well. My daughter also has PHACE Syndrome,
but she didn't require laser treatments. Her hemangiomas were mainly
internal.
She is darling, and Dr. Waner is magnificent! What a touching video!
