We met some new friends at Ronald McDonald House. Anwar Alrishidi and her mother. Anwar is having airway reconstruction surgery on Tuesday and will have the breathing tube and everything, just like Elizabeth. Anwar still has a trach, so this surgery will make it so she won't need it any longer. She noticed Elizabeth's scar on her throat and approached us. She asked about the scar and told us about her trach. She is very nervous about her surgery and wanted advice from Elizabeth. It just so happens that Elizabeth and Anwar are the same age, both born in September 1992. The girls have exchanged emails and plan to keep in touch.
Doesn't Elizabeth look great? I took this picture at Starbucks. She loves the double chocolate chip iced drink.
So, tomorrow she heads back to the Operating room for a bronchoscopy/laryngoscopy to take a look at the healing process. We are praying for a very good outcome so that we can go home for a couple of weeks before her next bronchoscopy/laryngoscopy.
