Charlotte’s final major nose surgery was successfully completed today and she is excited to come home tomorrow. While she may have a few minor surgeries (“revisions” as Dr. Chaiyasate calls them) early next year, we don’t anticipate ear reconstruction until next spring/early summer.
Beaumont tweeted live updates this morning and many Twitter users offered support using the hashtag #healingcharlotte.

Hello there, I’m a brazilian journalist and am trying to get in touch with Charlotte’s family to see if it would be possible to send her some questions via e-mail, I’m sending e-mails everyday but getting no reply. Could you please let me know if it would be alright for us to tell her story to our readers at http://www.terra.com.br?
Regards,

Charlotte,
You sound like such a brave girl. I am happy to hear that your surgery went well. I, too, had a new nose built for me from my forehead this year! It is a long and painful process but worth it in the end. It sounds like you have a wonderful team of Dr.’s who are taking great care of you. I just had a “tweaking” a couple of weeks ago and it gets better every time.
I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
If you or your Mom have any questions that I can help with, feel free to email me. I would love to be able to help in any way that I can.
Eileen
