Good Day!!!

Kim had a pretty good end of the day yesterday! It was a rough morning but got better when she got the good news that her surgery went well and better than expected. Her swelling has gone way down and she isn’t wearing the sunglasses (to help with the light sensitivity). The Doctor said that they did everything that needed to be done her jaw was pushed about 6-7 mm back. They were able to bring it forward and when they did all of the fractures lined up perfectly. So now she is wired shut for 6 weeks! The Doc said that her jaw acted like a shock absorber and did what it was designed to do. We continue to see improvement every day! The doc said he wanted her to try not to write as much he wanted her to talk as much as possible even though it’s seems to her that she is hard to understand. She walked with a walker today. And she is off the IV drip and is trying to manage the pain in her ear with oral pain medication (liquid form). The Surgeon thought the pain was associated with the surgery as many muscles connect in the ear area but the ENT Doctor is going to check just in case. She was cleared to leave the Hospital by the face surgeon and the orthopedic surgeon. Just waiting on physiotherapy to feel comfortable with her walking and pain management. Just found out she needs to see the ENT Doctor tomorrow at noon which means shes here at least another day. Keep Praying!
