Recovering

It has been one week since Jordan had his Le-Fort 1 surgery last Monday, and he seems to be recovering very nicely. It was great that he only had to spend 3 days in the hospital. The swelling has gone down substantially and he has some bruising on his face and jaw line. Jordan is eating/drinking a fair amount, as parents we would like to see him eat a bit more, but it will probably increase as time passes. He hasn't complained much about pain and only takes pain medication at night to help him relax and sleep. He's only had two bad nights since being home from the hospital and hopefully that will be all! Jordan decided he needed some "fresh air" so he went with his dad into the office for an hour while Matt filled out an expense report for his last business trip. It seemed to tire him out a bit, but he seemed to enjoy getting out of the house for a moment. Jordan sees his surgeon on Wednesday morning to check the progress of the movement of his jaw line and his incisions to see that they're healing correctly. We are so thankful that everything has gone so smoothly and we are thankful for all the prayers on Jordan's behalf. All of our family and friend's have been so supportive during this time and we are grateful!! We will keep you posted on what the doctor says on Wednesday, and hopefully Jordan will let me share pictures of his journey then. (He has threatened me that no pictures are to appear on Facebook or the family blog at this time.)
