She's out...

We just spoke to the doctor who did the surgery. He said everything went as well as it could have gone. The roof of her mouth was lasered and went very well. They were able to go thru her mouth to remove the mass in her cheek. Once they got in there they found that the main nerve for her cheek was intertwined with the mass. They had no choice but to remove that part of the nerve, which means that Mia will never have feeling in her right cheek. There is a slight chance that with her age Mia may develop some nerves there but it is more likely that the other nerves would be alittle more sensitive. Also, with the size of the mass, it was putting a large amount of pressure on Mia's orbital bone. Over time, it may have deformed her skeletal structure and cause even more permanent damage. The doctor thought that it was an excellent decision we made to remove Mia's mass and to laser the roof of her mouth. I'll update again later with an update on how she is doing.
