Eating Progress

We had another follow-up with the surgeon scheduled for Friday, so that gave us a few days to try lots of foods before the bands possibly went back on.  He was skeptical each time but enjoyed lots of delicious food.  The first treat was Savannah's homemade chocolate chip cookies.  The fresh gooey cookies from the oven seemed to hit the spot!

The pie was a bit trickier and didn't go down very well the first time.  Later in the week, it was also delicious for him to enjoy.

Preston took no part in the zoom cooking dinner meal kit provided by Sonic in lieu of attending the conference out of town.  Dave and I certainly enjoyed it though. :)  Then came Friday. . . back to the doctor for another follow-up and possible band insertion.  BUT, we were thrilled that Dr. Morgan left the bands off for another week.  Hallelujah!  His mouth opening was at 29mm today, with 35 being the low end of the normal range.  Great progress!  Preston was given the go-ahead to try soft meats in small bites.  And guess what his first meal choice was . . . Chick fil A!!!  He has been asking for a CFA sandwich since this all started so what an exciting night for us all to enjoy it together!

Now we have another week to enjoy real foods as the jaw continues to loosen day by day.  Eating is SO much easier now, but still not back to normal.
