Yet Another Gilly Update

[loracs]

Baby Girl is miserable.  Since the pins came out of the teeth, there's no way to anchor the band to keep her jaw in alignment.  I'm sure she'd be miserable anyway, but the jaw moving in and out of alignment has got to be weird, if not painful.  I know the noise, when it pops, makes me cringe.  I try to put it pack in place, but it's not always easy.  I decided to take another few hours off and take her back up to the surgeon so she could replace the pins and band.  Dr. Lommer said it would be okay if we wanted to wait until her 10 day post-op appointment next week, but I couldn't stand it.  And, hey, we still have a few bucks in the checking account, we'd hate to waste it all on bills or gas or food or stuff, when Baby Girl needs it!

I've explained to her how many hours of entertainment and love she owes us for all this money.  TANSTAAFL I've told her over and over again.  

dbubley had her most of the day,  When Gilly was whining in pain, she would sing to her and it seemed to quiet her.  I'd try singing to her, but she'd probably leave the room.

poor sweet baby girl!

so the pins are back in for now?

there will be so much to get used to, but I'm sure she is glad to be home with her family.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. We're taking her tomorrow (Friday) afternoon to have the pins replaced. They will give her a light anesthesia and then bring her out of it, should take about an hour. I hope this will make her more comfortable.
