We are so excited to get rid of the halo that has been screwed into Jett's head for the past
8 weeks!!
We are a little scared that his horns might come out:)
For all of you that know Jett you know he has a bit of a devilish side.
He's quite the prankster.
In fact he has loved to play with people that stare at his blue friend. He will either stare back pretend to have a seizure or just pull a weird face.
That's one of the things we love about him, he doesn't care what others think.
He knows he is awesome and that's all that matters!!
There is one down fall when we went to the doc 3 weeks ago he informed us that the mouth piece and what I call his elephant tusks ( the pieces of metal that come out of his mouth) will stay for another 8 weeks and he will have head gear that will attach to it at night.
This was a big surprise and disappointment to all of us!!
So to all of you parents that are reading this before your child's surgery now you know what to plan for.
After the halo is off it's another 8 weeks of head gear.
I don't know why but our Doctor didn't tell us this prior to the procedure.
He was probably afraid we would take off running if he told us it would be a 16 week ordeal.
It sure would have been better for Jett to know a little better what to prepare for...
Our plans for summer keep getting bigger and better with the anticipation of
FREEDOM!
