A cystic hygroma occurs as the baby grows in the womb. It forms from pieces of material that carry fluid and white blood cells. Such material is called embryonic lymphatic tissue.

Blessings to you and yours. I often travel to New York (Long Island) for surgeries as well, but for brain surgeries. I live in Arizona so it is a LONG trip from here as well, a good 8 hours after changing planes etc. The debt is terrible since the insurance from my husband, a police officer, blacklisted me, and I had to stop teaching middle school. I keep your son in my prayers; he is precious. My kids are 9 and 8. So amazing and resilient, aren't they? We will remember you through your journey. Keep strong! http://chiarian.blogspot.com Too Much Brain to Contain
