Blessings beyond words.
This is Ellie's Dad checking in. Reid is doing well and resting this evening. He's holding down clear liquids and formula so he might be able to come home tomorrow! His surgery lasted approximately 5 hours, which was a little longer than expected. Our surgeon, Dr. Gosain, did an amazing job. I can't even begin to describe how please we are with the outcome. I literally had to take a seat in the recovery room because I was so overwhelmed. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement!

Hi...I have never met you except via conversations and our new Abigail's blog...may I say your lives and 'light' have been a refreshing comfort, support and encouragement for us. Reid looks great, and his physical healing will be as profound as the love and strength his family has shown. Thanks for being there and GOD BLESS

What a tough little guy. Reid is seriously our saving grace, our encouragement, the one we look up to. Reid, Ellie, Janeen, and Brian, you are such a great family. Reid, a special thanks to you for being such a tough boy and enduring this all. Reid has such a beautiful new smile. Give everyone hugs for us. I am in awe of the transformation. Good Job Ski's!
The pix are great! Thank you so much for the update after surgery...you have all been in my heart the past couple days and I am glad that all went well. I am sure that you will grow to love this new smile just as Reid will. Best of luck for a speedy recovery for all of you. Please let us know if you need anything.

Reid looks so precious. You will be amazed at how much he changes over the next week. Remember that days 3 and 4 the swelling is the worst, after that it will be much much better. Will keep praying that Reid continues with good progress!
He is so beautiful! It was so good to be there to meet your surgeon and meet so many in the dental office who have been such a wonderful part of Reid's life for so long. It is obvious they love Reid and all their little children, who are so special to them. I loved the surgeon's smile. You could tell it meant so much to him that we are all so pleased with the results!
love....Mom & Dad Leatherman
Looking Great....Keep up the good work
Janeen,
All of us at school were anxious all day. Thanks for calling to give us the update and sending the pictures for us to ooh and aah over. You are right...the doctor did an amazing job. What a blessing that there are people who have that awesome talent...to make Reid's sweet smile even sweeter. Hugs to all of you...Love you guys!
