I typed too soon...

Well we spent 2 freezing days in San Francisco for Gabrielle's surgery and it looks like we'll be heading back sometime in the future.  The plastic surgeon said he couldn't get it all.  He needed to be conservative because he didn't want to make it too small.  It is a lot better just not as small as we thought it would be.  We set the wrong expectations for Gabrielle and the first thing she said when she came out of anesthesia was "Is my lip tiny?  Are you sure it's tiny?"  Then she fell back asleep and when she woke up again she was licking her lip and asked, "Is it still big?"  It was really swollen so it obviously felt really big to her.  It's getting better and better and the incision looks so good-I don't think there will be any scar.  I'll post pictures in a few weeks when it's to it's optimal size.
