Day 4 (Tuesday) - Brushing Teeth



Brian rated his pain level a one today.  Grandpa brought over History of the World for us to watch - Brian, Jay, Grandpa and I.  Grandpa also brought over some drawing supplies from Grandma.  Brian sketched a little today.

It was a big day because I was determined to get Brian in the shower and then take him outside for a little walk down the block - just to see and feel the sunshine.  Brian was up to the challenge and even decided to take on the task of brushing his teeth.

We started with sponges on a stick for the inside of his cheeks, but then Brian busted out the toothbrush and managed to brush all of his teeth thru the bands.  It was amazing - a little scary because we just aren't sure where the incisions begin.  But when all was said and done, Brian felt like a new man.

Doug rented John Carter for us to watch tonight.  Tomorrow, Brian has his first follow-up appointment with the surgeon.  Things are going very smoothly.
