The ear was first uncovered in Dr. Brent's office last week on Thursday (7 days post op) and if we compare 7 days to 11 days it is absolutely amazing. Remember that Dr. Brent said it will be like looking at a magic show while we watch it heal. We now see what he means! Unfortunately, there are no 7 day pictures to show you, but we will continue to share our "magic show" through the next few weeks.
You can see her "little ear" in front of her new ear. That will stay in place until July. In July they will take off her little ear and raise the new ear off her head. You can see two dots under her ear where her tubes used to come out. She looks like she was bit by a vampire! If we look at her from across the room, you can't even tell that the ear is flat against her head.
I told some of you that she bruised really bad and you can see that it is now healing. That green is a bruise on the mend. She obviously takes after Grandma Ginny, who gets bruises like that and never knows where they came from.
Gabi said she wants her pictures on the blog, "But I have no idea what to write!" So there you have it. Gabi ala her mama. :) ~jane
Wow Gabi, this is amazing to see. I am proud of you. What are you eating? You have a spoon in your hand. How was your first day back at school? Did you give your speech on Jelly Belly? I love you. I hope to see you soon!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGabi ~ You are the bravest and loveliest young lady I have met in quite some time!! I'm so happy Mom and you came to visit and hang out with us. Your new ear looks like it is making friends and getting instructions from your 'little ear' before they are separated. heeheehee :-)

I'm eating pudding. And no I didn't do my speech yet. I'm going to this Thursday. Love, Gabi
ReplyDeleteGabi - I'm so thankful you are home again and were able to do lots of fun things while you were away from home having surgery. I don't believe I was nearly as brave and wise as you when I was 8--I'll have to ask my Mom for sure. I'm sure you already know that you have an awesome Dad, Mom, brother and sisters. God truly smiles down on you every day! Love - Terri Anderson
