Update on Alissa:
She had another surgery on Wednesday to work on her face. They ended up taking a chunk of her skull to build her nose-which looks amazing!! You won't even be able to tell she had her nose rebuilt. And they fixed the indent/huge hole in her forehead. And they fixed where her tracheotomy was. It was a big flap and scar on her neck. She is in a great deal of pain and had to stay overnight from not feeling well, but she is home now and we just enjoyed some nice yummy brisket together! So glad she is eating again! Oh and they took all the wires out of her gums and mouth making it easier to eat. So now she will rest until Monday, then has an appointment in Austin to see a specialist about fixing her eyes. He's the only person in TX who will consider it. Please send prayers her way that he will take a chance. She won't look normal again until her eyes are fixed and her doctors refuse to do it. Then on next Thursday, she goes back to Dallas for a followup from her surgery and to remove all the stitching. Unfortunately, since they took part of her skull, she has a ton more staples and a bald patch on her head again. This makes her pretty upset, but she has a wig that she can wear if she wants to go anywhere :)
That's all for now...

Glad she got her nose fixed! And we are praying for the surgeon doing her eyes. I hope it turns out perfectly for her.
