Not much to share today. I mostly just wanted to provide some before and after pictures that I think are astounding. It’s hard to believe how much has changed since the Frank Mover was put in place on Monday!!
Quick update before the pictures though. We went to see Dr. W last night and found out that we have moved Gabriel’s septum too far with the turning of the screw. So now we have to turn the screw in the opposite direction for a week to try to get his septum to reside equally between the right and left side of his gums. Not a big deal. This time it is loosening the device instead of tightening, so it shouldn’t cause him any discomfort. The Latham Device is great, but it is really made so that we can continue to make slight adjustments until everything is in its perfect place for reconstruction. It’s not the kind of device that requires no maintenance – that’s for sure! Dr. W thinks we should be having our second surgery in a month. No specific dates yet. Still just speculating for the most part. Need to see how well things continue to go with the Frank Mover and turning the screw in the opposite direction.
Regarding those pictures. The first picture was taken the day before Gabriel’s surgery to have the Latham Device put in. Notice where Frank is in that picture – he sticks out all the way past the end of Gabriel’s nose. The second picture was taken on Tuesday night – just 24 hours after the Frank Mover was put in place. You can see – even with the Frank Mover in the way – just how much Frank has moved back to where he belongs! TRULY, TRULY AMAZING!!!!!!!!
