Our appointment was at 3:00 and we went anticipating a long way as usual. We even had visitors waiting in the waiting room for us - Joy, Aiden, and Lexi! It was great to see them, but our time together was short. We didn't even get a picture for our blogs! We waited 15 minutes in the waiting room and were called back to a room.
Here is one last picture with her nasal stents in. This picture really shows how skinny her face has become. I weighed her while in the office and she's lost 1 1/2 pounds since surgery. That's a lot of on a little body.
Dr. Martin was very pleased with how things were healing up on the inside as well as the outside. So much so, that he took the stents out!!! Rachel started crying when he clipped some of the stitches. But she was relieved to have the stents out. We need to continue on a soft food/soft chewing diet, nothing crunchy, until we see him again in two weeks. 
Dr. Martin reminded us that her nose could swell up a little bit but it'd come back down. Her nostrils have also been stretched because of the stents, but in time they should lessen in size as well. So our appointment went well, it was record time - in and out in forty minutes! And we return to be seen on December 13th, when perhaps her diet restrictions may be lifted, just in time for Christmas cookies!!!

Oh, what a relief to have those stents out! She looks fantastic despite the weight loss!

Definitely glad to have this behind us!
When we saw our Plastic Surgeon back in August, he mentioned that this could be her last surgery for 8-10 years!
She looks amazing! Glad to see she is doing so well.
I just cant believe the difference in her sweet face, just beautiful!!!!
