Today we went to see Dr. Pensak and Dr. Theo. Dr.Pensak took the bandages off of Kevin's head to reveal a knarly looking incision. There is a lot of bruising and 20 (yep!!! I said 20!!!) staples behind Kevin's ear.
Dr. Pensak also looked at the incision on Kevin's belly. This was where they had to remove fat to place inside his head, behind his ear where the mastoid bone was. He said both incisions looked nice and we would come back in a couple of weeks to get the staples removed.
Both Dr. Pensak and Dr. Theo were quite surprised that Kevin had such a drastic change on the left side of his face considering he was doing so well right after surgery. They are fairly confident this is only temporary...which is good to hear, but in all honesty, we wish they were 100% certain it was temporary.
