The Summer of 2009

The summer of 2009 will go down at the Pybus house as a medical anomaly... at least I am hopeful. We literally don't need another year like this. Whenever you put off medical procedures from one year to the next, be prepared to have all the stops pulled in honoring that request.

Emily needed her wisdom teeth taken out and Savannah required a small procedure on her ear. We figured that would be all but just in case, we'd meet our deductibles. We didn't count on a critical bone of one of our children to be in three pieces.

There won't be too many images to go along with this story as the patient insisted that we take no photos. The patient for our major medical event of the summer would be Emily. Just before her 17th birthday

After it was all said and done, Emily's jaw was being held together with three titanium plates and 12 screws. She's pretty sure the worst of the pain was the cracked molar that went undetected for several days after the surgery. Once that was diagnosed and treated, things really started improving.
