We just got back to the apartment. Today's surgery marks a significant step in Sarah's progress. Dr. Waner and Dr. Levitin took the scar off of her cheek next to her nose and they also took the scar off of her bottom lip and chin. They did this by cutting out the scars and then stretching the skin. She has about 15 stitches on her cheek and 8 below her bottom lip. Now the hard part starts with keeping Sarah from rubbing her face. She has little braces on her arms to keep her from touching her face but she is not liking them at all. We have antibiotics for her wounds and tylenol to keep her from to much pain. Overall the day was a success so it's up to mom and I to keep from damaging what the doctor's have fixed. I don't know how we are going to do it but Dr. Levitin told us to try to keep her from even crying so that the stitches won't rip so wish us good luck.We will be here until late next week when they will take the stitches out. I will update soon. Thank you for the prayers, God is good.

I just recently discovered Sarah's picture on a flyer for the Tony Mull Memorial Poker Run that my in-laws will be participating in, and immediately thought she was one of the most beautiful babies I've ever seen. I just wanted to say keep your strength and I'll be praying for her!
We are so relieved to know that the first makor surgery other than laser surgery is behind you. You have a big challenge ahead but you are up for it and God will give you both the strength with His ever ending Grace. We will continue to pray for you three.
Love Gramme and Grandpa P
