11-17-2009 Tuesday - Dr. Gunson's in Santa Barbara

Jeff, Holly, and I stayed at The Biltmore in Santa Barbara last night. Holly had her doctor's appointment for her jaw in the morning so it's always easier to come up the night before.

Holly has Idiopathic Condular Resorption which is the deterioration of her condyles in the jawbone. Diagnosed three years ago, Dr. Gunson, just gave her the go ahead to start prepping for jaw surgery. Now we just have to decide when to get her braces back on. She will have them for 8-10 months before surgery and about 6 months afterward. And yes, she has been in constant pain with it for three years!

Every visit up to Santa Barbara Holly's gets to add another charm to her "Jaw Bracelet". Jeff drops us off at the Juicy Shop and circles while we pick it out.

We had Holly's favorite food for lunch - Japanese!

Drew watched his brother and sisters while we were gone. They surprised us with a colorful "snowflake blizzard" when we came come.
