Yesterday we took Connor back to the oral surgeon. He said Connor had Hemangioma, which is an abnormal buildup of blood vessels in the skin, or lip in his case. He said it would have to be removed, but he wouldn't do the procedure until Connor was at least 8 or 9 months old because he will have to be put to sleep and hospitalized. He said it shouldn't get any bigger, but if it does or if it starts bleeding or anything abnormal to call, otherwise we go back in August.
I have done my own research of Hemangioma and I am not 100% convinced that is what it is. I haven't seen any pictures that resemble anything like what Connor has. Also, it says in most cases it goes away on its own (but I did find one source that said if it was on the lip, it would have to be removed). I also read that it gets bigger, Connor's hasn't changed since we first noticed it.
I am going to continue to pray that it will just go away on its own sometime soon and until then, continue to do research on Hemangioma until I actually believe 100% that is what he has.
