About Me

My photo
I am a mother of a beautiful daughter with Hemifacial Microsomia. Graci has changed my life forever. I am so thankful for every day God gives me with her. I believe God created her the way he wanted her to be; and placed her in my life for a reason. I pray that he gives me strength and guidance I need to raise her to be a beautiful lady. Graci was born with mulitple birth defects. She has already undergone several surgeries and now we have reached the point in her life where she will have ear reconstuction on her microtia. This blog is for family, friends and others to read as we go through this amazing journey in California as Graci gets her new ear.

Busy 2 Weeks!

Well, Graci did pretty good after surgery. Of course, we were able to do alot of things as a family and enjoyed being together. It's so nice to get away from all the worries at home, work, bills, family and just the hustle and bustle of every day life in Wilson. When we go to California, everything and everyone changes. It's life a new world for us, with new people, new surroundings and we have a new meaning on life. California is where it all began for us and when we left there were tears. It was sad knowing that we probably wouldn't ever return to California. It was truly the best place we had ever been for so many reasons. It was a happy place for me a place that liberates my energy and inspired my hopes and dreams. Dreams of a little girl getting a gift that she so well deserved.

While we were there we went to the Happy Hallow Zoo, San Fransico 49'ers Family Day, San Francisco Giants Baseball Game, Sightseeing Tour downtown San Francisco and lots of shopping in several of the cities malls. We were able to once again experience things that some people never will. It was so amazing watching animals, foot ball, baseball, seeing the city life from a tour bus with a tour guide and just spending time with each other.

It was kind of hard saying good bye to Dr. Brent. Graci drew him a picture of her famous tide dye pinwheels framed. We couldn't have thanked him enough for what he had done for our child. It was truly a blessing having been one of his patients and all the time, energy and money that was put into these four trips was totally worth it.

To Dr. Brent: We want to thank you so much for your warmth, kindness, support, expertise and for making us feel 100% comfortable in every way. You are such a sweet, gentle and fabulous person and we couldn't be more thankful for you and what you have done for Graci. This surgery has made an impact on her self esteem and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
