deep breath

For a couple of weeks we knew that Lucy's left ear was in trouble again.  It was showing signs of implant exposure as it has in the past.  We have prayed and prayed for total healing and for a miracle! 

But our plan is not always God's plan.  Sometimes that is the hardest part....to see the big picture.  I have so many questions.  But I know that it's not for me to question.  Again, the hard part.

Here's a recent picture of Lucy's left ear....

 

 

You can see the precious little exposure coming through. 

Bless her heart.  Needless to say, we are so broken hearted for her. 

The plan as it stands is for them to remove the implant and let her tissue, membrane, skin heal for 6 months or so.  Then they will try the left ear again using a different blood supply.

Dr. Reinisch has been doing this for YEARS and he's never had this happen before.  Leave it to us to be the problem family! 

So please, please keep those prayers coming!  Again, we need each and every one of them!

And while we are there....I'm gonna have them go over that right ear with a fine tooth comb and make sure it's good to go! 

Here's the cute little right ear!  (it's still swollen)

 

 

 

Looks really good to me....it's still very early in the healing process! 

 

Thank you for all the prayers!  I'll keep you posted once I know more about surgery and time frames.
