Post Op Update

Kaitlyn had her 2nd post op appointment this afternoon and it went really well! Dr. Vicari is thrilled with how well she is healing as are we!!!! He removed the steri-strips on the area from where they took the skin and its almost healed and looks like a very thin line. It is barely noticeable! He said that any reconstructive surgery after this would be very minimal and we wont know for a year if we will need to do anything. He said she can go back to gymnastics class in a week and she can go swimming too. We need to load her with sunblock on that new skin all summer. Next week we will have to start massaging the new skin. We go back and see him in 6-8 weeks for another check up. So all in all she is doing awesome and as you can tell its been a pretty big deal for us to see this drastic change for Kaitlyn after this 3rd surgery!!! We had a cookie made for Dr. Vicari and here is Kaitlyn holding it to show everyone. It turned out so cute and Dr. Vicari thought it was pretty neat!!!
Here is Kaitlyn with Dr. Vicari today. He is such an amazing surgeon and we are so happy that we got in with him 2 1/2 years ago!! He is one of the top pediatric plastic surgeons around!
When we got home Kaitlyn and Colin were smiling for the camera!
Such a ham whenever I pull out my camera...maybe she is just used to it since I always have my camera with me and snapping pictures!!!
Colin helped Daddy mow tonight....he still loves playing with his John Deere mower Auntie Jill:)
Kaitlyn helped mommy water the flowers while Daddy and Colin mowed.
