I was the one who looked up PWS, found Dr Geronemus and did all the research. My hubby has always been wonderful about going to appts etc but I think I was the more emotional. My mother in law asked me when she was born" That mark on her face is going to go away, right?" I have always included my hubby in decisions about laser etc. But I think ultimately, the ball is in my court, so to speak.
A you know, Alexa has the high risk for glaucoma issue. For me, and I have never said this to anyone, every time I looked at her, I remembered the medical risks and I would get soooooo sad. The cosmetic side I could have cared less about .It was the possible life long medical issues that hurt me. The unknown. I also switched pediatricians after 6 years because my peds partner walked in the room, looked at her and said :Whats wrong with her face?" HHHEEELLLLOOO..... My husband was livid. He told him off.This was not the first time he said that either. She was at an age to understand now. I switched Pediatricians the same day. I have enough with ignorant people saying things to her, but not her own peds office. DH has been very supportive but does not wear his emotions on his sleeve, as I do. :)
