I just wanted to close this procedure off with an update. Over the last weeks, Jake has been dealing with his soft food diet and even the need to replace his palate expander once already post surgery. Overall, he is doing great but is itching to eat real food. Yesterday, Jake had a checkup with his surgeon, Dr. Urata and was doing great all systems go. Jake can begin adding more foods to the diet except for ones that require excessive grinding. Better news, he was even cleared to go skiing on our trip so he is very excited. It was 50/50 if he would be able to go so it was nice that he got some good news. We will continue to distract with the expander and ultimately set the table for braces and corrective needs. Jake's 2nd big step for his jaw surgery will wait till he is done growing so he will now have a decent amount of time before needing to have another surgical procedure.
All good news, once again Jake continues to impress us with his resilience.
