She will have the jaw destraction, using a device htat they turn each day for two weeks . She will have to be in a ventalitor for ten days and on heavy pain medication. Then she will have to be ably to eat well before she goes home. How did you handle this? The stress and worry and sitting at the hospital each day is killing me.
