*This will be the last surgery for this jaw distraction, however as Cicily grows, most likely her jaw will not grow enough and she will need additional jaw distractions. *
On Monday September 29, Cicily will have the distraction device removed from her jaw. Dr. Singh will make a small cut in her cheek, closer to hear ears than her chin, to unscrew the distraction rod. Then the device will be removed from her bones and mouth. This will be an overnight stay at St. Joseph's Hospital. Cicily will then wear the helmet for another 1-2 weeks (yup- another) and then this jaw distraction will be over and done with! Very much looking forward to this surgery as it means no more wound cleaning twice a day!!!

what a sweet babygirl to go thru all that and still be so happy! I suppose that she will be very happy to have the surgeries done. I am glad they have been so successful for her.
Love ya,
Janalyn,
Thanks for your comments on Faith's new blog! We will be thinking of Cicily while she and Faith are both under around the same time! I am so impressed with the growth she has gained from her distraction. I hope it lasts a nice long time before you have to think about the next one.
