We have a winner!


It seems that after much research and prayer we have decided upon a surgeon. We will be having Dr. Court Cutting of NYU do her surgery our in New York. I spoke with them out there last week and they gave me a tentative surgery date of November 12th. It's alot later than I had thought or would want it to be, but we'll take it. I just can't wait untill i could cuddle her against me without fear of hurting her. That's been one of the harder things about this whole retainer thing. I'll probobly fly out to NYU this coming week to meet with the surgeon, but that's still not planned out yet. I'm actually a little nervous about flying to New York by myself. San Antonio I had down,I knew my streets, and the airport pretty well, but New York is a whole nother matter. We'll see.
Mason and Kiera are doing well, reeking havoc and chaos throughout the house. They love Savannah(sometimes a little too much) and enjoy "playing" with her. On Friday Mason was busy "playing" with her on her bouncer and fell on top of her. Usually not a big deal, except this time he smacked the retainer right out of her nose. Poor Savannah, she was hysterical, and I couldn't get the retainer off, so I eventually had to take the scissors to it and just cut it off. It was a rough morning after that. This pictures actually from about 3 weeks ago, but i thought it was nice.

I am so glad that you found a surgeon! That is a huge decision. NY is quite a trip. But it will be worth it in the long run for Savannah! Good luck!

Hey...I see my sister-in-law found you recently. In all honesty I miss you all in Whittier and wish I was still there to hang out and go to the park. Just wish I could bring my house with me and find a spot for it in So. Cal. I hope everything goes well with the trip to New York. November is only a couple months away...it will be here before you know it. I feel for Savannah and all that she has to endure with the retainers and upcoming surgery. Good luck to Savannah and the whole family!
