Post Op Appointment - Almost 8 weeks

We saw Rachel's plastic surgeon this afternoon for another post op appointment. He wanted to see her to continue monitoring how things went as the stitches continued to dissolve and swelling continued to decrease (all the visible swelling to us is gone, but to a plastic surgeon he sees differently). The visit was quick and sweet. He checked her over inside and out and was very happy with how the surgery had gone. He'd been looking at her pre-op pictures before coming into the room, so he was able to compare what was 'before' and the 'now'.We'll see him again at the end of February. Prior to seeing him, we'll get an X-Ray of Rachel's bone graft to check it's progress and make sure it 'took'. He said he doesn't expect to see that it didn't take, as there would be other signs of rejection at this point. But an X-ray of the area will be the confirmation needed for future orthodontic work that is in Rachel's future. After a few pictures for her chart, we were on our way...

For those wondering how Rachel's incision on her hip is doing, it looks amazing! Dr. Martin said that in a year, because it's so paper thin, you might not even see the scar at all! Again, we're so thankful to have this behind us, and for all the prayers that have been said for Rachel and for us. We are so blessed, so very blessed...
