We went back to our plastic surgeon today and they removed the stents in Julia's nose and took off the steri-strips. It is like seeing your newborn all over again! The emotions are CRAZY! You know that this is your daughter, but it doesn't look like your daughter, at least not the one you brought home from the hospital. The most difficult part of the past week was her "no,no's" she had to wear on her arms so she would not touch her face. She hated them!!!! She has started drinking from a regular bottle, which is pretty cool. It feels weird now because we worked up to this day that we waited for since the day she was born and now it's over. That is it.... the doctors have repaired her lip and nose and that is it. It is just weird, I can't really explain it. I guess we just love her and kiss her and spoil her until her next surgery which they have scheduled for February 18th, if they decide she needs it. We will find out for sure on December 16th at our Craniofacial Team Meeting. Until next time:)

Julia looks beautiful and she sure is growing! It puts tears of joy in one's eyes knowing that she has such a lovely family to support her as this is so important for her pychological development! The wonderful Surgical work they do now one can only "Praise God" for the young people's positive futures these days. Great to see your Blog Site.

Wow, I know you guys have so many mixed emotions, but to have the surgery behind you and a complete success has to be strange. She is growing more and more beautiful everyday. See you soon--Blaine
