What a big day... Today Lina and Laura left for New York City. Lina's first BIG surgery is scheduled for tomorrow and assuming all goes well today, she will have 12-14hours of surgery that will take skin and tissue from her back and replace the grafted skin and tissue on 1/2 of her face. She'll return in a couple months to do the other half... then a series of more minor (relatively speaking!) procedures over the coming years. If you haven't seen Dr. Rose's work, take a look at this, it's a burn survivor with a pretty severe injury. It shows what he was able to do:

Pretty amazing stuff! It's unbelievable how many people have helped to make this a reality...some we haven't even had the pleasure of meeting yet!
Keep praying!!!
