Text Box: Hi guys, it’s me Will with finally another update! I know a lot of you have been wondering about me and asked Mom for updates but, she had nothing until now since my surgery on Friday was bumped due to a lot of emergencies coming in. Boy, I hope they make it, they sounded pretty terrible in order to bump me. Anyway, they rescheduled me for the following Tuesday of this week but, after looking in on me Monday morning and finding that my gums were a deep purple due to the tissue extenders being placed, they decided to give me a rest. Late Wednesday afternoon Dr. Walsh called Mom and told her that Dr. Shores was not too concerned and wanted to schedule me for surgery on Thursday. Well, today I went for my second surgery and boy, it was long!!!!!! I was in surgery for four hours and they did a lot. They sewed up the hole in my pallet, sewed up the hole in my nose above where my black nose use to be, turned my nose right side out again as it was turned inside out so that Dr. Kirby could save me, stretched out my skin and pulled it down to sew up my left cheek area where I looked like I was bearing my teeth at one side and sadly enough, had to remove an inch by one-half inch in size due to my tissue dying and not being able to be saved. After this (wheewwwww!!!!!) long surgery, Dr. Shores was very pleased in what he was able to accomplish and was especially pleased on how well I did with the surgery. After a break with recuperating from this surgery, he wants to try to go back and extend more tissue and perhaps create a second nostril in the remaining part of my nose. I am now in ICU on heavy duty pain relievers and fluids and people are keeping a watchful eye on me in here. Oh!!!!!!, by the way, Dr. Lathan heard I was back and she comes to visit me as often as she can. Boy, it is really nice to see her again! I wish Todd could come by to see me but, I’m sure he is really busy these days. Well friends, that’s it for now as I am really tired after today and these pain relievers are making me very sleepy so I want to get some rest. Thank you all for keeping me in your prayers, thinking of me and checking in on me! Collie kisses to all of you! Will
