Hello Friends and Family,
It has been a long time since you have heard from us. Lacey and I drove to Portland last Thursday from Liz's at Gig Harbor. Surgery was set for Friday at 08:00 am. We were up at 4:30 and checked in at OHSU by 5:45, when in walked a nurse to deliver the bad news that surgery was cancelled due to Dr. Downs having a bad case of the flu. Dr. Down's was well by today, Monday and did a 2 1/2 hours surgery to Lacey's scar above her left brow and connected her eyebrow. He did scar removal to a large scar on her right cheek and also did laser removal of tiny veins all over her face which were caused from trauma. He elected to not do the dermabrasion until these latest scars heal and then he can do a full face dermabrasion. At that time, (first part of August) he will narrow her lower nose and do more work on her lips. All went extremely well and we are very pleased with the outcome and prognosis for upcoming treatment.
Yesterday we met Glenn Hogan and had a wonderful brunch in Rickreal, which is a small town next to Monmouth where Lacey went to college. It was so great to see Glenn. Thank you for the fantastic brunch Glenn!
After that we drove to Elmira, which is an hour and a half drive just outside of Eugene and we visited Colton Haag and his mother and father. This was the first time Lacey has seen Colton since the accident 11 months ago. It was a very positive meeting and brought healing to both Lacey and Colton. Thank you Haag's.
We are heading back to Seattle tomorrow after the check up with Dr. Downs and will take the late flight back to Ketchikan.
Take care. God Bless and thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.
Mike, Shelly and Lacey
