Chloe has been wearing the Bumper belt which is a positional solution for sleep issues. Since Chloe has been wearing it to bed and also sleeping on a pillow wedge for about a month.

1. She is able to open her mouth wider then ever before and seems to be utilizing her facial muscles better each day.
2. She is taking less pain medication but seems free of the headache issues or it has been greatly decreased.
3. Sensory issues seem to be getting better but the biggest surprise is the facial muscles seem to finally be responding.
4. I suggested we work with this belt and see what we can accomplish to the Neurologist for at least a year. Chloe will get the 4 wisdom teeth out because that should also help.
5. Her doctor will try and figure out why this belt is getting Chloe better access to facial muscles which helps her open her Mouth.
6. Let you know if the Neurologist has any idea why this works after we see her in September.
7. Chloe was referred to find out why she could not open her mouth very wide. The TMJ Doctor accomplished this with a sleep belt. He is impressed with what worked!

Cat Scan found an asthma issue!

Since the age of 5 years old Chloe has been diagnosed with asthma. Her peak Flow at that time was lucky to hit 50, but now she pretty consistently hits 300 which is the low end of normal.

 We never knew why but the Cat Scan found her air hole diameter was 31.9mm and normal range is 52-110mm. This is the tube that goes from the back of her mouth into her lungs.So the diameter of tube is the distance across the tube's center point. The bigger the diameter the more air a person can take into the lungs, Cat scan picked this up where no other test did before

So the TMJ doctor has shown where the problem is. The surgery he recommends to fix the problem needs to be considered but I am not sure how it may play into her nerve damage on the left side. He said this could really improve Chloe's quality of life. I will need to discuss this with her neurologist who was worked with her for over 5 years and see how the surgery could impact the left side issue she is being treated for, I will then check with her regular doctor for her opinion too. Right now Chloe's is scheduled at the end of the month to get her wisdom teeth removed which could be a big help too

. We are working with the YMCA to check her stamina and so far we think she could handle a 10-20 a week work schedule.
