Laura is having surgery this morning on her jaw/face to correct her sleep apnea. This is the description I found on wikipedia:
Maxillomandibular Advancement (MMA) or orthognathic surgery, also sometimes called Bimaxillary Advancement (Bi-Max), or Maxillomandibular Osteotomy (MMO).
A surgical procedure which moves the jaw top (maxilla) and bottom (mandible) forward. Used to correct facial deformity, receding chin, and for sleep breathing disorders - See Sleep Apnea.
MMA is often performed along with Genioglossus Advancement (tongue advancement) to treat sleep breathing disorders.
We would appreciate your prayers as this is going to be very painful for her. Thanks and love you all!
