3 Month Post Surgery Appointment

* Note: I spent the last weeks reading up on watermarks etc. on my photos, especially after what happened to one of Keziah's pictures (you can read about that on the post before this one); however, the more studying I did on it, the truth of the matter is, if someone wants to steal your picture, they can and will, even with a watermark on it. That's just the reality of pictures being "out there". And so, after much searching, we will continue to post pictures and not bother with a watermark. As many articles stated, putting a watermark on the pictures takes extra time (I have yet to find a program that makes it easy to do and not permanent - meaning, I can still use the pictures for her regular photo album without each picture having a watermark on it), which in the end, wouldn't make much of a difference anyway. The only way to really have a watermark work its best is to have it large and cover the center of the picture. Yeah, kind of pointless then to post a picture when you can't see the image very well. So on we shall go, mindful and alert. And once again, in case you missed it - THANKS a WHOLE bunch to those who went to bat for Keziah, including the very first person who notified me about it.

After a nice 3 month break of weekly hospital visits, tomorrow we go back for a follow up visit with Dr. Zuker. At this visit, he will have a look at how Keziah's incisions are healing, as well as make a plan for around her eye.

Keziah's incisions have healed up, with an open spot here and there where a stitch is making its way through. But other than that, they are all sealed up. Her head must have really done some growing in the last 3 months as the scar lines have widened considerably.

Until we do scar revision (most likely once she is a teenager, unless Dr. Zuker comes up with a plan for this tomorrow), we are thankful for her thick hair which, when styled certain ways, covers the gaps pretty nicely:

The hair that was shaved off is growing, about 2.5 inches long now. And because of the top of her hair now being on the side of her head due to the stretched skin, her hair length is quite uneven. That means her next appointment will be for a good hair cut (are you reading this, Lynne? :o)

(you can see the locks on the left that are longer than the rest of her hair length)

Keziah knows where we are going and is fine with it - especially when the answer to her question of "will he do anything to me?" was answered in the way she was hoping - Nope. :o)

(no, that isn't an expander in the middle of her forehead but a bug bite!! At the rate it's growing, it looks like we may have some extra skin :o)

We will keep you updated as to how tomorrow's appointment goes and what the next steps are. Thanks for reading!!
