Wow! Yesterday was a busy day. Gabby had 12 visitors throughout the day. She complained of not feeling right all day. She has no appetite and never wants to eat. I pressure her into eating and she tells me to leave her alone. The cranky girl doesn't last long, because in her next breath she tells me she loves me and thanks me for being a great Mom. (that's all any mom needs, right?) She kept complaining that something felt wrong and at about 11pm, the wrong showed its ugly head. She threw up very violently. She complained afterward that all the muscles in her face hurt. She took some Pepto and that seemed to do the trick. Waking up Gabby, after she was up until 2a.m., was not a great experience, but we got to the surgeon's office on time. He said that Gabby is "ahead of the curve" in terms of healing and the pain that she is experiencing in her upper jaw is normal. We asked him about removing the splint that is in the roof of her mouth and he said he would be able to take it out before she leaves for college. She was very pleased to hear this because the splint impairs her speech. We are thinking about trying to watch a movie today. Hopefully, we will accomplish our goal.
