Doing Great!

Cathy sounds wonderful!  She went to the doctor today and he picked off all of her scabs.  I learned something new today.  I thought we weren't supposed to pick off our scabs, however the doctor says that scabs inhibit the healing process.  The doctor will probably do the jaw surgery sometime in December or January.  At that time he will remove a bone to allow more movement.  The great news is that Cathy is now allowed to eat all foods!  She still eats very slowly and carefully but she no longer has to eat mushy or pureed food.
Cathy is enjoying her friends visiting every day.  I wish I could be there too but I will come to visit in a few weeks. Until then, stay strong, stay positive and remember that a lot of people love you and think about you every day.  Love, Linda
