We met the plastic surgeon
Well, we had a very cool appointment at the hospital…we got to meet with the plastic surgeon!!
We went up just for Ellie’s regular dermatology appointment and he’s always said that when she’s 1, we’ll also be put under plastics. So I asked how we made an appointment for plastics and his reply was “Well, I just go and get him for you” (luckily dermatology and plastics share a floor).
The surgeon was really nice and answered all of our questions. Here’s what’s happening….
At 3 years old we can get started on getting Ellie some new hair – yeeha!
She’ll have 3 individual balloons done (dermatologist said it’s like getting a boob job, lol) at seperate time (so 6 operations). It’ll take 18 months in total so she’ll have hair before she starts school. The news just kept on getting better because she can go to kindy just like a regular kid. We were worried she wouldn’t be able to go incase of the tissue expanders (balloons) making the skin to fragile, but it doesn’t.
This is such an exciting time for us, we’ve finally been given all the answers we’ve been waiting a year for
