Suggest Remedy For Hemogioma

I have a nephew who has a hemogioma on his tongue. He is right at a month old. They live in Little Rock Arkansas. The specialist who have seen him placed him on steroids, with no effect. They had scheduled surgery to remove the growth, but minutes before the surgery, and after conferring with other doctors, they decided to place him on a high and low dose steroid to see which direction to go due to his age and the location of the hemogioma. He was on the heard medication that is new and it caused him to be very sick and that is why the drs opted to take him off and schedule surgery. My sister and her husband are so flusterd because they feel as if they are getting the run around on their babies care. Is there any other options or any other specialists that could take a look at his case. We love our baby and want to help as much as possible. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi dear,I had gone through your question and understand your concern. You should be worried,but not too much. It is obviously seen from localization of hemangioma, that child should go on surgery,because he has risk of heavy bleeding in the future. You can perform MRI to appreciate how deep is it.
