Grand news!!


Lately Ryan and I have been noticing a slight change in Ellie's mouth, cheek, etc.  There isn't as much drooping of her right side.  So Tuesday I asked her to try to move her mouth by pushing her tongue on the inside of her lower right jaw. She did and I saw the corner of her mouth move up slightly.  So the good news is that the nerve graft surgery is now taking and she is able to begin to move her mouth.  The doctors say it will just take time and practice to see more improvement!! This is so exciting to see, only five months out of surgery.

    That is such good news! Keep up the exercises and it will happen. You are a brave little girl and I'm proud to know you.
