Happy New Year to everyone who is still reading the blog. I went to Portland on December 10th and Lacey had her surgery on the 12th. It went very well. Dr. Downs removed some tissue below her left brow that was causing her eye to appear more closed than the right. He also did revisions on her upper and lower lips and they are looking much better every time he works his magic. Scar tissue was removed above her lip to her lip line to make this happen. The nose surgery entailed clipping the inner right thingy so she could breathe better and two incisions on the bottom of each nostril to narrow the nose. The outcome of everything he did was so amazing. We once again have only God to thank for guiding Dr. Downs hands every step of the way and for helping Lacey heal so quickly. Both he and Dr. Downs are amazing.
Lacey and I returned home on Friday December 19th and we enjoyed a wonderful holiday season, up until last Friday, the day before Lacey left for Portland. We were having work done on her computer and just prior to picking it up the person who was repairing it called to report it had been stolen by unknown people who burglarized his home while he was at work. The very sad thing is nothing was backed up, so the journal that Lacey started right after she returned home from her accident is gone. She is heartbroken by this, as she had not read it yet and some of it was written before her memory was restored. We are praying that it is recovered and have posted a 250.00 reward for it's return.
Lacey's next appt with Dr. Downs is next week and a new plan for the next surgery will be addressed. She will have to have another Rhinoplasty to her nose, which is pretty extensive and will give her more projection. Also her right lower cheek area does not seem to heal properly after scar revision, so that will be another task and will need dermabrasion in that area. Dr. Downs also plans to do scar revision to her left temple area where she had quite a bit of damage. And after all that she may be done with surgery. Praise God!
We are so very thankful to all or our family and friends that continue to pray for Lacey. These prayers have been answered and continue to be answered.
God Bless you all!
