Guest guest Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 I'm happy for you your surgery is over. What a relief in itself. You sound like you're doing great. I get explanted August 14th. Take it easy, don't do too much. do you have drains? How long did you have implants, what are you symptoms, Love twinklestars9900 <4punkins@...> wrote: Well, I did it. My implants are no longer inside of me, they're on my kitchen counter lol. I was sore yesterday today it seems not to be as sore and last pain pill was around 4:30 a.m. I'm still really tired and I'm bound so darn tight. Deep breaths are strange and my ribs are achey from the bandages. I won't see my 'new' look till Monday at my post-op. I'm not sure I'm ready for that part. Thanks for the prayers and support!Gena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Hi Stina I am glad everything went ok,dont they put you to shame when they run around as if nothing has happened.I am sure if it was us adults having the surgery,we would be complaining allday.My daughter was grouchy for the first few hours then eat,drank and played.It is also amazing how easy they heal if you want too look on s photos you have 1 the day of surgery and one 7 days later, incredible. Take care. Stina Lasu <stina_ls@...> wrote: Hi everyone, Thank you all so much for all your nice mails wishing us luck! It is so sweet of you and it is nice knowing that there are people out there going through the same thing with their children. This support group is wondeful! It all went very well and little Alice was coping just fine with it all. I had a hard time when they were putting her to sleep before the surgery. She was crying and it was just so horrible... ;-( She woke up after about two hours but she has spent most of the day sleeping. But she has also had some cake, played and smiled. She is just so brave! She looks amazing now! She has a fine crease on each eyelid and she has 3 stiches above each eyebrow. She is a bit swollen but she looks just fine! She can open up her eyes a lot more now and that is wonderful! She is so pretty! Today she is like nothing has happend at all. She is playing and she seems perfectly happy. I'm so glad that it is over for this time. Next surgery will be when she is about 5 years old. Thank you all for your support!

I have been busy enjoing life with my wonderful daughter Alice, who is now almost 14 months. I hope that you all are well! Tomorrow is a big day for us. Alice is going to have her first surgery at 8 am. The surgeon is the same who once did my eyes. Tomorrow he will put slings in for Alice and we will wait with the epichantus until she is about 4-5 years old. I have been very nervous and I have been crying a lot this past week. But now when it is finally going to happen I actually feel ok. Alice is a tought little one and she will manage just fine! Please, keep your fingers crossed tomorrow. I will be back with news soon. Take care! Love from Stina and Alice (both born with BPES and live in Sweden) How much free photo storage do you get? Store your holiday snaps for FREE with Photos.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Stina, So glad to hear everything went well for your little Alice! Kids are just amazing in their resilience. Although I was not with Micah through his surgery I can tell from the pictures I have he was playing and happy right after his surgery and his head tilt was gone immediately. Just amazing. Hugs to your little one! April Eisele --- Stina Lasu <stina_ls@...> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Thank you all so much for all your nice mails > wishing us luck!
