These are pictures from Nathan's lip repair surgery on December 1, 1998.



 
 
 
 

In the pre-op waiting room the day of surgery. Nathan was not a happy camper because he was HUNGRY!
Getting a hug from Daddy post-op.  He slept a lot, but he really didn't fuss that much.
Still sleeping after the anesthesia..
Finally awake, though not really alert and pretty drugged.  He started eating again about an hour after they moved him up to his room (about 2 hours post-op)
Even though he's swollen and bruised, you can still see what a wonderful job the plastic surgeon did!
The day after we came home (2 days post-op).  Happy to be home and much more alert.
One week post-op.  Swelling and bruising gone, arm restraints not (he had them for 2 weeks, but he didn't mind them that much).  His stitches are all but dissolved, and all that's left is a little scab on the incision site.
2 weeks post-op.  FINALLY, the arm restraints and scab are gone (except for a little under his nose).  He only has a small scar and looks GREAT!!
