The Day Before Surgery

When our beautiful baby came out of the womb hear ears were folded forward, stuck to her head.  Adam remembers gently peeling them away from her head and ever since they have been lacking in the normal ear shape most people unknowingly enjoy.  
We knew one day we would probably opt to get them surgically fixed, creating the fold in the cartilage that wasn't able to form because they were folded forward like they were.




The day came when we finally went to see an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor to consult about a bilateral otoplasty.  He said about the age of 4 or 5 is the best time to do it, before they start school and while the cartilage is still pliable and soft.  And it just so happens that our insurance covered the procedure 100%.  So, after much prayer, fasting and appreciated advice from family and friends, we decided to finally do it.



Here she is the day before her ear surgery!  If you think she was cute before, wait until you see the after pics (coming soon)!
