After much research we decided to use Dr. Burt Brent to do Graci's ear reconstruction on her microtia. We found him to be the best in the US. I felt comfortable with him and had read a lot of his articles and have seen pictures that were amazing. We contacted the Doctor and told them we were interested and then they started asking about insurance. It has been an insurance nightmare every since we started this journey. You can only imagine what kind of expense we are talking about and our insurance denied us a "prior plan approval." We basically wanted this for our sake and of course the provider. We even wrote a letter to the Congressmen and the CEO of our insurance provider and still no letter. I felt like I was choosing the Doctor that I wanted her to go to and they were denying us because we were going out of network. Thomas and I then realized that this was about Graci and Graci getting her new ear and we were going to make it work if it meant selling everything I had. She deserves this.
Well after crying for over 2 weeks it all finally worked out where we are so excited to be going to California in less then a week.
About Me

- 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.
