Ben's Jaw Surgery: And It's Started!

Well, Ben has been in surgery for about 25 minutes now. I'm sure he's not remembering a thing (or at least he'd better not be!) but I can't really say the same for Mom and Dad Western and me! I can't believe it's only been 25 minutes and we still have probably another 5 1/2 hours to go. Dr. Baker came and talked to us before and we were once again impressed by him. What a good Doctor to be taking care of my Ben! I am so grateful for the blessings of medicine in our day. How amazing for Ben to be able to have his done and for him to be able to bite down properly! I just can't believe that after surgery he will be able to actually bite down and have all his teeth touch as they should. I'm very anxious to have these next few hours over with! I can't imagine (and try not to) what is going on in my poor sweetheart's mouth right now. Let's just say that I'm happy sitting here watching Spongebob in the waiting room than watching the surgery! The sweet nurse said that she will update me when she can, so I very anxiously look forward to that! For now, here are some pictures of my handsome man as they prepped him for surgery. Even with that crooked jaw he's the most handsome man I've ever seen!!!
