Surgery Went Well...

Michael is resting comfortably this afternoon.....The surgery took about 2 hours...and the dentist took out all of the remaining top teeth...Once she started to take the teeth out and saw that he was tolerating everything well, and saw the amount of damage to the bones in his mouth...she felt it important to go as far as she could today (which will make the Oncologist happy as she wanted it all done at once...I can't even imagine that pain!)....I believe he had 8 top teeth removed. (There were already quite a few missing) The dentist packed his mouth and stitched him up....He has all sorts of medication and mouth washes....we will return on Friday to get the stitches removed and check on the healing process....and then they will set up the time and date for the removal of the bottom teeth that remain....

I hope the day after surgery is also going well. Can you eat chicken soup through a straw? Asking for God's healing grace to be with you.
