We got back from California about three weeks ago and we have seen our local plastic surgeon. He said that everything looks really good and Noah’s ear is healing well. A lot of the swelling has gone down and the skin graft is starting to turn a pink color like healthy skin.


Noah has been working really hard this to catch up on his homework. All of the first graders at school made get well cards for him. He was so excited and read each one of them.

He has been back to school for a few weeks now and he is excited about spring break. All of his friends were really excited to see him.

I think he is excited about having his ears finished after this surgery. He asked me the other day if we were going back for the other side.

Surgery Went Well

Noah had his stage 3 left ear surgery yesterday and it went very well.  When he finally woke up about 2 hours after he was  brought into recovery.  He immediately wanted a popsicle and chicken noodle soup.  We stayed the night at the surgery center and he never said he had any pain.  He didn't sleep very well last night and he watched Scooby Doo cartoons on and off throughout the night. 

We were released from the surgery center at 7:15 this morning, came back to the hotel and have been just relaxing and taking it easy today.  Noah has watched cartoons pretty much all day.  The hotel had a package waiting for Noah at the front desk this afternoon.  It was filled with toys and a Get Well Soon card from the staff.  The Staybridge Suites staff is really awesome!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! 

We are into the new year and already making plans for Noah's next surgery.  We go back to California Feb 8th for Stage 3, left side.  This time Dr. Brent will lift Noah's ear off of his head and put a skin graft on the underside.  We are excited and anxious all at the same time.  We have made all the arraigments for this trip and are just waiting for the date.  There has been just enough money raised to get us through travel arraingements and deposits for this surgery.  We will be in California for a week and a half this surgery.

On another note, Noah had an appointment with a endocrinologist today.  His pediatrician is concerned about his size and the rate that he is growing.  The endocrinologist didn't see anything that looked abnormal in the physical, but they are doing more tests.  They took a large amount of blood today and he got a little pale and light headed, but he never teared up...even when they took the blood.  He is such a big boy!

Thank you everyone for your support and we hope you have a wonderful 2011!  

Here Comes Santa Claus

We went to see Santa Claus this weekend for the first time ever.  I have never taken Noah to see Santa and I was a little nervous about how he would react.  Needless to say he did great...matter fact after the line for pictures cleared he would run up to Santa and give him five and then run away. 

He told Santa that he wanted Woody from Toy Story, Bionicles, and Hero Factory Legos. 

Noah got some Santa socks and he had to show them off!
