my son having double jaw surgery

[Guest guest]

Hello,

My 17 year old son is having upper and lower jaw surgery on December

22 @ Portsmouth Naval Hospital. He has been in braces for over 3

years and has had enough! He wants to have this surgery and get on

with his life. I am hoping that some of you will send me some tips

on how to make his life more comfortable while he is recovering. Is

there anything that might make the steroid withdrawal less

disturbing? I plan to buy a smoothie machine this week and would

like some ideas for smoothies. Is it likely that he will sleep alot

the first few days after coming home? How do I help him prepare for

this? Please send any advice you have even if you think it might be

minor - nothing is minor about this and every word will get my

undivided attention.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely,

Ann
