Today we are celebrating two milestones. Three weeks since the surgery and Gabby's 18th Birthday. Gabby is feeling great. She is eating more now and a bigger variety of foods. She still is not chewing anything with her teeth. She had the splint that was connected to the roof of her mouth removed on Monday. The surgeon said that she will not see the full result of the surgery for about another four months. We are so pleased with how good she looks and how much better she feels, we can't imagine it getting better in four months, but he says it will. She also had an extensive appointment with the orthodontist. He replaced four brackets and added some hooks for her to connect the rubber bands. She is leaving for Monroe on Friday, so she will not see the surgeon or the orthodontist for six weeks. We were told before the surgery, that the braces would stay on for six months after the surgery. Hopefully, she can start the Spring Semester without the braces.
