I am excited to come help Oma and Opa care for the little ones while YOU and your family get the rest and fun you so desperately need.

You have the most beautiful family in the world. I must say that I am especially fond of Miss Zoya.I guess because she has had so many things to deal with. She is such a beautiful tiny girl.I always keep you in my prayers. As busy as you are it is a real treat when you find time to post and share the latest news with us. Thank you so much.

So if you put it on a table, a normal retainer would look like a little mountain, whereas this retainer would look like a plain. (There's a slight curvature to allow your tongue to be more comfy, but it doesn't touch the roof of your mouth, even right after the procedure when there's swelling).<br /><br />It maintains air flow, so there is no added risk of infection. <br />The only added risk would be if pieces of food got trapped between the retainer and the roof of your mouth. So you need to be careful to take it out while eating solids and clean it after drinking anything but water. <br /><br />Curved pieces of metal (they look like "U"s) are embedded in the plastic. They look like a second row of teeth; they prevent you from sucking your fingers, etc.<br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear that little miss Zoya will have to undergo another procedure! Such a bummer. Hopefully, though, this latest operation will give her some advantage when it comes to her speech?<br /><br />-MadiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434202048056046520.post-22597705826004625852011-04-25T20:39:19.340-07:002011-04-25T20:39:19.340-07:00I'm so sorry, friend!
