Lucy is our adopted daughter from China! She's been home about a year and a half. Lucy was born with Bilateral Microtia and Atresia. Basically no inner or outer ears, no ear canals, no ear drums. After Lucy arrived home in September of 2011 she was fitted with a BAHA (bone anchored hearing aide). Lucy heard for the first time September 19, 2011.
We were blessed to be able to meet with and be blessed with the talents of one Dr. John Reinisch in California! (check out this video...this was the surgery that Lucy had!) This man is simply amazing! Take a couple of minutes to watch this video! It's mind blowing!

Here are a few pictures of my Lucy!
This is the first picture we ever saw of our Lucy.
Here is a picture of what Lucy used to have for a left ear.
Surgery morning....last September!

This past December!! Lucy loves her new ear!!!
Lucy's right side. She is scheduled for surgery to receive her right ear May 23!!!
The Farley family!! This was taken just a few days before Lucy's left ear surgery!
Lucy has had a couple of issues with her new left ear....she's had 2 "fix" surgeries on her left ear. One was just last week so her left ear is currently covered by a mold. We will remove the mold on Monday and have new pictures to show off!!!
As always we appreciate all the prayers for our youngen!
I hope this post helps all the new Lucy followers feel like they are in the loop!!
Lucy is the most precious little girl....certainly the bravest little girl I've ever known! And I'm so thankful to be her Mommy!
