Well she made it through very well according to both doctors. Thank you so much for your prayers and Minnie a special thank you to you for preparing her for what was ahead. You really helped to put her mind at ease. She has never gotten on the website herself so having somebody who has been through a similar surgery etc letting her know what to expect was sooo helpful.

She went in this morning at 5:30am her blood pressure was a little high but that was their only real concern. We think it went up because she found out that they would keep her awake while they put the trake in so she was pretty nervous. They sent her into recovery at 6:00pm this evening so we still haven't had a chance to see her. The doctors updated us at 11:00am saying that when they opened her up she had a four inch fracture through her jaw and he could really see why she has been in such pain and was unable to open her mouth for the past few months. The muscles were all affected by the fracture. They took out the entire dead bone and the tissue and sent the tissue over to the lab and GREAT NEWS....NO CANCER...yeah!!! What a relief all this time with the exposed bone and her PET scans lighting up etc...what a relief to finally find out there was no cancer there.

They spent the entire afternoon reconstructing and rewiring her mouth and all the preliminary tests show everything is as good as it can be so now we wait for recovery. I will be soooo happy when she can be a real person again without pain.

I'll keep you all posted on her progress and thanks again for everything.

HUGS,
Dani
