Well, we started packing last night and I was explaining to Graci about the procedure. I told her they would cut a piece of skin off her tummy area (by the rib) and they would carve her a new ear. I explained that she would have a bandage on her head that would wrap around for the entire time we were there. Graci put her hands on her hips and said, "I don't know why you are worried about California and my surgery, because I'm not." I started to cry.
I then go on and tell her that we have to pick out clothes that either button up or dresses she can slip into because of the head gear she will have. She asked was it a, helmet. I started to chuckle. She was totally OK with everything and I was amazed by her inner beauty.
Griffin asked the most funniest thing last night....he wanted to know if California had chocolate milk and apple juice. That is great !
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.
I am so excited for Graci! We will be thinking of you all! Love you!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome!
ReplyDeleteEven though we have not met in person, it is a blessing from God that we have connected at this point in our lives. I introduced Graci to Sophie this morning with the wonderful pictures that you sent us. We will be on this journey with you all via the blog and in prayer. We can't wait to meet you all in person.
