One more step in the treatment of a unique disorder

                                                                                                                                                               www.uniquedisorders.com

Chloe has completed the next treatment goal. She has completed getting 4 wisdom teeth  and a molar removed. The oral surgeon said the molar was on the inside of one of the wisdom teeth so he charged us for four teeth but actually took out five teeth.

This journey started in March 2015 with her hygienist and dentist finally get into her mouth because of new medication she was on she could open her mouth wider. They felt that the wisdom teeth and molar were a major part of the problem. This is early in recovery but they maybe right.

The journey took us to  four different Oral surgeon and each one directed us to the next. The goal I think of each visit was to see what would work with Chloe's back issues to be able to remove these teeth safely. Also at the beginning of  September our road had 6 weeks of road construction to be completed while we walked in 2 blocks from our car to our house . Surgery date was set a week after when the road was expected finish and it was.

Chloe and I typed out a timeline of what she needed to complete to get her teeth out. But unexpected situations came up like 3 different people tried three different tries to get an IV in. The staff came in and told Chloe what to expect next.

 She was very ready for each step and did everything asked of her.
Her actions  showed us she agreed with what she was doing. Chloe answered all questions asked of her too,

Right now Chloe'left side of her face is swollen and her nerve issue she is being treated for is on the left side of her back too. So the goal is now to let her body heal . In December we will see her neurologist and see how Chloe's recovery is going and see if we can start reducing some of the medication she is on especial pain medication.

I will update in a more timely man ner how recovery is going, Thanks to all medical staff we encountered. Everyone was great!
