Everyone got a good nights sleep and a yummy breakfast. Today we drove to Woodside, CA to finally meet Dr. Brent and the sweet ladies I have been communicating with for 4 months. Dr. Brent was wonderful not to mention the office was full of stuffed animals and an aquarium full of beautiful fish in the middle of the waiting room.
Dr. Brent was very nice and laid back. He explained to us the procedure and all three stages of the surgery over the next 9 months. He talked to Graci and went over all the details for her so there would be no surprises. She sat still there with her big bow in her hair and smiled so beautifully at him. He really made us all feel at ease.
We have already met two families here at the Suite that have already had surgery. They both have done wonderful and Graci got to see them with their bandage on. Tomorrow is a free day so we are taking a cruise on the San Fransisco Bay and going to the Aquarium by the Bay. We all can't wait.
About Me
- Mary Brown
- 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.
