After a week of worrying about Michael, we finally have some good news to share. The first may seem small, but him it’s a big deal; the second item is huge for all of us.
Okay, the first item — He started eating again! Earlier in the week he had a few chunks of KFC, which led to some pasta and other soft foods. Michael lost eight pounds from his liquid diet, so seeing him eating is great for him and us.
The second bit of news — Michael went in yesterday for the first of his root canals, which were necessary because the teeth were dead after the accident. The doctor did some tests and Michael could feel the cold on his teeth, which meant they were not dead afterall.
The doctor sent him home and told Monique to come back in two months! If the teeth don’t die and turn black in the meantime, Michael is done with the accident. Of course, if the teeth die, we will have to do something with them, but we are keeping our hopes up.
He will still have to get a partial for the front tooth that is missing, but that’s okay. Overall, his spirits are very good.
