Mia has been doing pretty well over the past week. Her eating & drinking seems unaffected with the laser treatment they performed on her mouth. Mia's forehead and eyes got very swollen, more so her eyes. Her right eye was practically swollen shut. Everything was going well until Saturday night. She has this big frog stuffed animal that when you squeeze or smush his stomach, it makes a noise. Well, Mia was laying on her belly and rocking on the frog when she didn't stop herself going forward and smacked her head right onto the hardwood floor. OUCH!!! Brandy and I got her pain medicine and an ice pack as fast as we could move. It took alittle bit to settle her down but by the next morning Mia was back in good spirits. Her forehead however was huge, puffed up and bruised. Since then, she has slowed down alittle and only alittle.
We saw the Dr yesterday for her post-op checkup. We talked about the surgery alittle and he felt he got around 50% removed from her forehead. Only time will tell us for sure. The good news is that he said everything is looking great and she has no restrictions now. The incision is healing very well. Mia's forehead will still be swollen for a few more months but that is normal. Because of how it is growing, it made things very difficult to operate on. We just need to make sure she doesn't bump her head. The timing is perfect, Mia is going to her cousin Emma's birthday party this weekend and its a pool party. She is so excited because now she can go swimming.
