It's not nice to kiss elves.

I took Jane to Primary Children's last week to meet with a dermatologist about her birthmark. We killed time by reading--Mom always brings a book to the doctor's office, so Jane wanted to also.

There came a point when the book wasn't quite interesting enough, so Jane told me her own story. I was impressed, so I wrote it down so I could share.

From Jane...

"Once a long time ago there was a princess named Snow White Rose. She was lost in the forest and didn't know her way home. She had to run because three elves were trying to kill her. She hid in a house and covered her face with blankets. The three elves sneaked in and pulled the covers down and they saw  Snow White Rose! But then in 12 seconds the prince came and saved Snow White Rose, then the prince kissed her. The princess, not the elves. It's not nice to kiss elves."

And in case you are wondering, the doctor did say that it would be possible to at least decrease the size of Jane's birthmark, even if it can't be removed entirely just yet. We're trying a new medication that has recently been shown to help reduce this type of hemangioma while we wait for word from the insurance company on whether or not they will authorize the laser treatments. We'll keep you posted if anything interesting happens.
