Prue(2yrs)was born 31wks with a venous haemangio. extending from fingertips to elbow on right arm.It grew & then ulcerated along the entire arm down to the muscle and bone. A Sydney hospital performed several operations, including laser surgery & skin grafting.She has extensive scarring like a burn, but now has lymphodema where the hand is bigger & she wears a pressure glove. We are unsure if the hand will reduce in size & wonder if anyone is in a similar situation.
