Hello family and friends. We wanted to give you an update on Jaycee as some of you have been asking us about her. When she was first born, we noticed that her right cheek was swollen and much larger than her left cheek. We had an ultrasound done, which we took to a plastic surgeon here in Uganda. Dr. Andrew is world renowned for his work with children who have cleft palates and other facial abnormalities and he is working at a hospital here in Uganda. After looking at the ultrasound, Dr. Andrew (and several other doctors as well) determined that Jaycee has a benign lipoma in her cheek. It is NOT cancerous, for which we praise the Lord! This is not currently affecting her eye sight or eating or breathing and should not do so as she continues to grow. For now, the best course of treatment is to wait and watch to see if the lipoma grows as she gets bigger. The mass will probably stop growing at some point and we'll decide at a later date when to have it removed. We are so grateful that this is nothing to worry about and that the Lord provided us with such wonderful doctors here in Uganda who deal specifically with these kinds of cases!
Thank you for your continued prayers for our family :-)
Love, Tammi for Rodney, Justice and Jaycee too
