JD update

No more screws!!! They stopped turning yesterday afternoon and I felt like I'd won the lottery! 30 days, 30mms - done. Dr. Singh took them off this morning. So, Cis still has the rods internally, but no more dangling jewelry hanging from her chin!
We do have new orders for the helmet though. It'll have to be worn for probably the whole consolidation phase (about 6 weeks). But, that should allow her teeth to meet and her jaw to angle straight out as opposed to sloping down like it is now. We have high hopes she won't have a Jay Leno chin after all! We'll see. :)
Cicily no longer needs 24 hour monitoring and she's already taking advantage of her renewed freedom and getting into bathroom cupboards. Once again, we rejoice at the messes of our toddler!

I am so happy! I could tell yesterday that Cicily just wasn't herself. It is sad to see her not smiling. I hope this next 6 weeks are a whole lot easier for everyone! What troopers!
