There is no place like home....


She had her surgery yesterday and it went great. The surgeon was able to get 5mm of her jaw moved already. You can already see a big difference. She threw up some last nite until about 1 am and has done remarkably well since. So much so they let us go home tonite . Which for those of you who have ever been overnite at a hospital you know how wonderful it is to come home.

Glad Anna's home safe and recovering well. :-) Did she get to pick out that pretty purple color? Neat!!

Prayers for your girl...hope she recovers quickly and this six weeks goes fast. Tessa had to wear a device to move her jaw as she had a similar profile..not a surgical one, but I think that was because she was much younger as they said if she didn't do it now, it would be much more challenging later. She wore it for 2 months. I find it simply amazing how quickly a HUGE change in profile can happen with both of these methods.

Blessings, Jennifer

Anna has always been beautiful to me because of her heart and her smile for my kids as well as for me. So glad to see her resting at home! Blessings for a speedy recovery and a successful 6 weeks. I can't help but think about how Mya might be tending to Anna at this very moment.
Love in Christ, Mary B.

I can see the difference already!! Wow! That is remarkable! You can see God's hand in this!

Anna, what faith you have. That brace looks like something that only the "fearless" would wear!

And you are right! The Lord has your back!

Many prayers for you.
