We met a couple almost 2 1/2 years ago at a microtia/atresia conference up north in the Stanford area. We lost contact for a while but have now gotten back in touch. Their son, August, is an adorable little 3 1/2 year old who had atresia repair surgery 3 months ago by the same surgeon that we are using. I talked with Rochelle, his mom, on the phone for almost 2 hours about it. She went through the process step by step and answered all of my lingering questions I still had about it. August is having his medpor surgery (new ear put on) on August 31... in a week. It's the 8 hour surgery that uses medical plastic and a skin graft and membrane to create an ear. So, please keep August in your prayers!
I am thankful to have gotten back in touch with this wonderful family. Another neat thing is they live only about an hour away. I plan on visiting them once August is recovered from his next surgery. Brennan will have that surgery in March with the same surgeon August is having. It's awesome how God is working in this. Brennan will have another buddy to share his experiences with!
Please keep this family in your prayers as they prepare for this upcoming surgery next week. Here is a link to her blog:

There is a picture from the Aug. 14th post that shows August post-surgery. It hits home as to what our little guy will be going through in October.
