We made a trip up to Birmingham yesterday. We haven't been since they took the expander out. The dr had some personal issues and then I was sick so this was the 3rd appointment and we finally made it up there.
Dr. Grant said Haleigh has healed well and despite the infection he feels the best course of action is still expansion for removal. At first he said we could wait a while and timing was up to us summer or fall. Then he said Summer because Haleigh's face is growing at different rates. One side is actually growing faster than the other. He said that he can fix it but not until the Nevus is removed. So we decided that June 26th would be the date to put the expander in. So removal would be the end of October.
Even with the set back Dr. Grant believes he can get everything done before she starts 1st grade. Lips are still going to be a harder surgery done all by them self. And then evening out everything.
I've been talking to Haleigh about her next bubble and she demands she is put to sleep for all "poky things". Poor baby I hate to see her go through so very much.
