So I guess all of these facial exercises I have been doing are paying off. I now can show two of my upper right teeth when I smile. I guess I can say I am no longer fully paralyzed :)

Howdy,
So, it has been a while. I have been seeing and Occupational Therapist to strengthen what movement I do have and I am slowly getting stronger. Unfortunately, I am unable to receive botox to relax the non-paralyzed and very strong right side (non-paralyzed side), due to my pregnancy. I have heard that I should not receive botox while breastfeeding too, so that is at least another 6 months after baby comes. Bitter sweet because I am pretty excited about the idea of a baby and also love how the botox helps my strong side look less powerful and therefor helps to create facial symmetry. So much to look forward to.... Why not now!!!! :) Being patient is draining sometimes. :)
Who knows when I will post again, being that the baby is due April 5th, but I will. Also, I will add a video of the movement I have gained. For now, I will post a pic.
Adios!
