November MRI & Dr. Wax

We just returned from Portland after Curt's MRI and seeing Dr. Wax and his "Fellow" doctor (a doctor from Cleveland who is studying under Dr. Wax for a while), and then having dinner with Angie's family. The "Fellow" doctor removed a chunk of wax from Curt's ear and mentioned the canal in this ear is not straight like ours after all the surgery on it. They said they could put a heavier weight in his eyelid to make it close more, but this would make his eye get very tired by the end of the day. Dr. Wax could pull up his upper lip and straighten the lower lip, but he could not do anything about his bite since part of his jaw bone was removed during the surgery. The hernia from his removed stomach muscle could be repaired here in Corvallis. We did not see Dr. Gross because he was not available for another hour (we could have waited, but Dr. Wax said he could talk to him). They want to study the MRI and will not get back to us for another day or two. They won't do any cosmetic surgery until they see what is on the MRI. So we are still waiting!
