improved

Lucy's right ear is much improved!  I should be able to post the next set of pictures!

Lucy's left ear is improving...I think.  It's so hard to see such small changes in such a small area...with 47 year old eyes.  Ugh. 

Lucy is basically back to her old self!  She is happy, sleeping good, playing hard....you know, being 4 years old!

Now for the surgical update:  usually once an implant has been infected the implant needs to be replaced.  If even one tiny infectious cell is hiding in the implant, the infection will return.  So, since Lucy's right ear (the new one) was SO infected, we assume the implant will need to be replaced.  However, the doctor wants to wait and see if the infection returns.  If the infection does return, we will have to have the implant switched out.  This would mean surgery sometime in the fall. 

While we wait to see what the right ear is going to do...this will give the left ear time to either heal over completely or well, not.  So, we wait.

God will continue to lay out His path for us.  We will continue to pray for guidance and strength!

Thank you to everyone to all the prayers!  My angel and I appreciate them!
