My mom will undergoe her 13 hour surgery tommorrow at 7:00am PST. The surgery is the only option she has because the bone died on her lower jaw and now her jaw is broken and she has had nothing but problems since completion of radiation. The surgery will consist of removal of a non weight bearing bone from her lower leg to replace her lower jaw bone on the right side and a titanium plate. I am pretty nervous so I just wanted to post to get some support and prayers sent her way...

Thank you for listening....I'll keep you posted.

Thank you!
Dani
