Bells Palsy


So for the past couple of weeks Daniel has been dealing with Bells Palsy.  The left side of his face has been paralyzed.  I had him take these pictures/video on Sunday to share with all of you.  Sunday was a turning point for him though.  He moved his lips a tiny bit to start to smile.  Well it was more of a twitch.

Daniel has been doing really well dealing with all of this.  He has had to manually blink his left eye and was adding artificial tears to help keep his eye from drying out.  He also has taken my jokes fairly well.  I am glad he has a sense of humor!  The kids didn't seem to notice how he looked.

I can't believe that nobody told us about this. Hope you are doing well Daniel.
