Jenny's visit to the doctor

Jenny called me a few minutes ago. Her visit with her surgeon went well. He unwired her jaw and put rubber bands in place! She was not expecting this for another week, so it was a huge surprise. She can open her mouth now just a bit, enough for a spoon with a small bite to fit through. She is excited to be able to eat food! They talked about the bone in her mouth. He could not see it because he didn't want to pry her jaw open that wide to protect the bones that have healed. She is scheduling a CAt scan sometime in the next few weeks to view it. From there, he will most likely shave it down to a comfortable point and leave it. Until that point, she will have to keep wax on it to keep it from poking her tongue. She is happy to be able to open her mouth to get wax inside there! Thought you all might like to hear the good news!
