2 Month Post Op Appointment

We saw Dr. Martin today for Rachel's 2 month post op appointment!

It was a pretty uneventful appointment. Dr. Martin looked took a look inside and said everything looks great! Diet can now include very small bites of steak and working up to bigger bites over the next several weeks. 

We return in 4 weeks for another appointment.

Side by Side Comparisons

It's been 8 weeks. Time for some Side by Side comparisons! 

 

Before pictures were taken 1 week prior to surgery. 

The comparison pictures are current as of today. 

8 Weeks Post Op

Today marks 8 weeks since Rachel's surgery!!! 

Rachel is pretty much back to her pre-surgery normal, with the exception that she wears rubber bands on her braces and has to take them off when eating. 

We had an Orthodontist appointment today and things are going as planned. New bands were placed on her braces and multiple packs of rubber bands were given. Because she goes back to college in 2 weeks, we won't be back to Ortho until Thanksgiving Break, unless Dr. Garcia contacts us and tells us otherwise (we saw Dr. Carter today).  

Post Op appointment next week with Dr. Martin.  We are anticipating the last of the food restrictions to be lifted and not returning until 6 months post op, which would be while she's home on Christmas break!
