prayers and results

thanks for all of the good thoughts and prayers that went our way. Alexis' surgery went well. The physician estimated 4-5 hours and it took a bit under 4 and he said everything went into place nicely. She is swollen and has a few bruises which will get worse until Sat. or Sunday and then begin to abate and her jaw is held closed by wires and rubber bands.

Of course now we begin the ordeal of recovery - 15 days of particle free liquids, then just liquids, then after 8 to 10 weeks soft food and finally about Easter, a more normal diet.
