Over the past few days Skyler has seemed a bit more sensitive to turning the screws each morning and night. And the right side had seemed to be longer than the left. I voiced our concerns at our visit today down at the Oral surgeon and x rays confirmed that something is wrong with the right side. It's not progressing at all since last weeks xrays. It is much farther behind than the left and so it looks like his jaw is crooked now.
They aren't sure HOW this happened, but will be taking Skyler back into the OR on Monday or Tuesday to find out what exactly went on and if they will be able to fix it to continue the process. We will be finishing the last week and a half of the other side as planned, and the right side will hopefully follow but this will set us back 3 weeks at most. So there goes the last few weeks of school and adds another month or month and half of healing once the actual turning is complete. Its a bummer, we are sad, and confused on what happened, he was doing great! I even was planning on going back to work on Monday because our wonderful daycare provider has done a trial run with him and is comfortable caring for him through the day. But we will put this on hold again, and try to see what we can do to make it work. Dr Egbert was pretty bummed and confused on to why this happened.
I will post pics tomorrow.
Thanks for checkin in on us
