We are ready for bed and hopefully will get a good nights sleep since we have to be at the hospital at 5:30Est... 4:30 our time :). Carolyn is so excited about this one because they will lift it away from her head, which means she will be able to put her hair behind her ear!!! Before we started this reconstruction process, my sister said she wouldn't only be gaining an ear, but also a hand because all she ever did was hold her hair out of her face... Haha!
Surgery will begin at 7:30 est and will be approximately 3-3 1/2 hours. They will take a skin graft from the back side of her hip, cut the ear away from the head and place the skin behind it. I had to draw her panty line on her backside tonight with a sharpie, so that was a great source of amusement for her. She also couldn't get over the fact that Dr. Jones said "butt" at our pre-op appointment. She even had to call Cowdery to tell him. He must not know that is a bad word :).
Off to sleep and I will post updates in the morning! I can't believe we are already on round 3!!
Please send up some prayers for Carolyn tonight and in the morning!
Will definitely pray for that brave, sweet girl! And for her mama and daddy too. She is just precious!
