8 week old ear

8 weeks post-op (original)

3.5 weeks post-op (fix)

Wow, I really can't believe it's been 8 weeks since Sam received her ear.  I love catching her looking at it in the mirror and listening to her talk about how she will soon be able to wear fun sunglasses like her little sister.  The gift Dr. Reinisch has given my little girl is truly amazing!  

Dr. Reinisch is happy with the way the ear is looking.  I questioned the scab on the back, but he said that it should come off.  He also told me to start working a little bit harder on getting the stitches out from the "fix" surgery.  I have been cleaning it every day, but the ear is still a bit sensitive, so I'm probably not rubbing as hard as I need to be.
