Well it's that time again! We are completing our packing in preparation for our early start in the morning! We will leave about 3:45am and head to Raleigh to catch our 7:05 flight! Miata is ready to go! She is also a bit sad that this will be her last trip to SF and to see everyone especially Dr. Brent!Miata was originally scheduled to have surgery on the 27th but due to the surgery center changing the days of the week that Dr. Brent is allowed to perform his surgeries caused them to have to reschedule Miata's surgery to an earlier date. Although that isn't really a big issue, it did cause us to have to change our flights and we are now a bit tighter on our timing to get to SF , obtain our rental car, and make it to Miata's pre-op appointment. Please pray that our flights have NO delays or problems because we don't have anytime to spare!! Here is our schedule...
- Depart Raleigh 7:05 AM
- Arrive Chicago 8:14 AM
- Depart Chicago 9:50 AM
- Arrive San Francisco 12:25 PM
- Get off plane, make my way out of airport, & find the individual picking us up.
- 45 minute drive to Redwood City for rental car
- Takes about 20-30 minutes to complete process
- 20-30 minutes to get to Dr. Brent's office.
- 3:30 Pre-op appt. with Dr. Brent
We should be alright as long as we have NO delays anywhere!
As for an update...
Miata has done very well since her last surgery! Her ear has continued to heal since that surgery with no problems! We are so very pleased with Dr. Brent and know (have known all along!) that he is THE BEST surgeon for this surgery! There is truly no one comparable! We followed others blogs as their child/children went through the same surgeries but using other doctors. The problems and issues that we saw these children experience after their surgeries is what lead us to the decision that we HAVE TO go to the VERY BEST which of course IS DR. BRENT!! After seeing these other families travel numerous times back (in between surgeries!) to see their surgeon for whatever reason (skin graft failure, skin shrinkage, infection, etc.) made us realize the amount they spent on the countless trips (airfare, hotel, meals, etc.) they could have went to the best doctor and had no issues! Anyways we are so very fortunate and blessed to first have the opportunity to meet this most humble, gentle, compassionate, and most importantly GIFTED doctor and second to have him perform these most delicate and detailed procedures on our daughter! There is no other that can compare! And most all those others learned from him!
Anyways, I will again post pictures and updates while we are in San Francisco if you would like to follow along. Your prayers for Miata's surgery to go smoothly and for her healing is much appreciated!!
