Avery with her Godmother Angie. 5th day post recovery and doing well. Her swelling is down and eating continues to be going well. Her nights and days are turned around a bit so little sleep in the House is had by mommy. Avery still looks so different to us. We've heard from our other friends that you almost mourn the unrepaired look b/c that face is the face you first fell in love with. I didn't think we'd feel that way b/c we had taped her, but she does look like a different baby to us. I guess I can compare it to a child who looses their two front teeth. That too can change their overall look as well.

The No No's are driving us crazy. Thanks Lissa and Heather for all your advice. We are now taping them in to her Pj's so they'll stay in place better. I sleep much better not worrying if they'll fling off in the night and I won't notice until it's too late.

I had them off almost all day today to give Avery's pitty's a break. - she is chafing a bit, but will be putting them back on for bedtime. We cannot wait until she will be able to touch her face again and hopefully be able to use her binki again too.
