Surgery

The doctor said that the surgery went very well. He said he was able to get her jaw back into position and line up her teeth properly. He doesn't how the work affected the two bone bends on her sides of her jaw. He said that she should be sleeping hard after the surgery due to the medication. However when we went to get her she was fairly alert. It was a little shocking to see how much more swollen her face got and that she was bleeding all over again. I was worried that she would be swollowing all the blood again and would throw up with her mouth wired closed. She was deathly afraid of the sucker that would suck it out. But when I held her really tight and got it in there she was okay untill she needed it done again. I think she was angry about her mouth being closed. She kept shaking her head no no no no and pointing to her mouth and going "grrrrr." The doctor said most kids won't even try to talk with their mouth wired shut. But she started asking for a popsicle and a drink right away. They chopped one up for her but she just held it tightly in her hands but never tried to get it in her mouth (and did NOT want anyone to help her). They are giving her Demeral, Zofran for nausea, Morfien every two hours, and Tylenol with Codeine. Since I hadn't slept in two nights and the girls needed someone home, I slept at home and Damien stayed with Leanna. It was very hard leaving her though. Looking at her is probably the saddest thing ever.
