As you can see the top photo is Skyler 11 days before surgery a frontal view of his jaw, the the 2nd picture is Skyler a week ago, the dr was very happy to see equal amounts of growth between the spots in the back above the bars there are gaps you can see tho the bone is not visible because it is not hardened yet. And on the last picture on the left side you can see a great amount of space and obvious signs that the distraction is working. Unfortunatly not the case for the right side. It is almost exactly the same as a week ago. Hasnt moved at all. So thats why his jaw looks lopsided. You can even tell how much its affected the placement of his teeth right now. Look at the first pic and the last pic everything has moved over greatly.

Skylers surgery is Monday the 1st of June they will be giving us exact times to be down there but we are told his surery will be at 3pm, and should be another 2 hours and will be an over night stay. It's just crazy. We were so confident that things were going to go so well with this, and that it was the right decision and we would see no problems. But we should know by now that nothing comes flawless. I guess I wouldn't be so bummed except the dr. seemed so bummed and baffled on to why this happened. And then by the x ray he couldnt see the problem.

Like I told the dr tho, Skyler has never done things the easy way, why start now.

Any how, we will make it over this bump. It might take a little longer than first planned, but there's gotta be a reason behind it somewhere.
We are off to spend the day in the beautiful sunshine now, hope everyone enjoys the WHOLE weekend!! Its so nice to actaully see seasons right?

All our love,
Mike Casie and the boys
