Erik had his appointment this morning, and I just got off the phone with him. The surgeon likes to see his patients a week after surgery to make sure they are comfortable, and eating. The surgeon told him to come back in two weeks (Jan. 20) and they would take another scan and if all looks good, they will take the wires off, and replace them with rubber bands. This means that he will be able to start eating soft foods! He will probably have to have the rubber bands on for another two weeks or so, but we won’t know until the appointment at the end of January.
Update on the guy who decided not to get his jaw wired shut when he first broke it: He now has a raging infection and has to have three teeth pulled. They have to also go in and completely clean out the infection and start over with the wiring and what not.
Lets just say, thank goodness we decided to go ahead with the jaw wiring when we did.
