Sunday Update
Dear Friends,
Good morning! Doctors unwired my mouth on Thursday! It feels great!! The wounds on the inside of my mouth are healing nicely! The body is an amazing thing. When I got the screws and rubberbands removed, I couldn't even fit my pinky finger between my teeth.I had lock jaw and scar tissue built up due to my jaw remaining in the same position for 3 weeks!
After many hot compresses and jaw exercises, I can now open almost my mouth almost a full inch! I'm still limited to liquid and soft foods!!
Not to mention I suffered with TMJ before the accident. Dr. Craig Landry treated me for TMJ with an orthotic and then I wore braces for 2 & 1/2 years. I just removed the braces in January of this year. Dr. Landry fit me for porcelein crowns, I'm still wearing my temps. The lab called me last week to inform me that my porcelien teeth are ready! I was very disappointed! I had to give the phone to my driver, David. Dr.Landry informed me that II might have to go through the entire 5 year process again! Hopefully it won't take as long to complete! I put all of my trust in Dr. Landry and his wonderful team.
Feeling well today! All of your thoughts and prayers must be working! Thanks you so much! This community has really come together and i am honored to live in such a wonderful community!!
Love you all so much!

Hi Katie, it's me Mrs. Tee from St. Bernard. So sorry to hear of your accident. Our prayers are with u. Talked to your Dad at swimming lessons. He said that u were suffering with ur jaw.
