UNBELIEVABLE NEWS!!

I have such incredible news to share, I can't even believe it myself. I had my molds done at the orthodontist's office the other day. Yesterday, at 4:45 I received a call from the Ortho's office saying that Dr. Post had to meet with me before I left for vacation. I immediately felt the anxiety creeping in. We were originally going to schedule something for today but, after telling her I was feeling a little anxious about this meeting, she said I could come in for 5:15. So off we went.
Dr. Post said that he had really studied my molds that afternoon and felt very strongly that with a little patience and the correct tweaking with elastics, he feels he can accomplish what we set out to do without the second surgery. I can't even believe I am writing this!! I knew my bite had really been coming together but, I never ever expected this news. I am so incredibly relieved. It hasn't really even hit me yet. I still can't believe it. Dr. Post laughed and said that I should tell my blog friends that we had something telepathically going on. I had been worried about the surgery and that had been thinking about how to correct it without the surgery. He actually said that over the last few months he had been wondering in the back of his head what or if he could do this without surgery. It seems like every month the open bite just got smaller and smaller with each adjustment. He says the SARPE wasn't even a question but, just that has made a big difference in my bite.

NOW, I just need to get my head around all of this new news and RELAX!! Relieved doesn't even begin to tell you how I feel right now!!

When does this Roller coaster slow down, already?! Are your arms still up in the air yelling "WEEEEEEeeeeeee!!!!"? I swear I can see the smile on your face from here ;)

Oh Michelle, I am so happy that this is unfolding in such a surprising way for you. (If only they coulda figured that out a while ago and saved you all the headache, stress and hassle with trying to get your dates worked out...but I guess that's neither here nor there at this point.)

Have a wonderful time with your family, my dear, and you bet we want a pic of that big grin of yours beaming at us :)
