Tony got a letter in the mail today with the news we have been longing for. He was awarded a medical certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration. Now that he has medical clearance, he's free to fly on his own again. For someone who has loved airplanes since he was small, this was HUGE! We're so excited! The last letter we got from the FAA was about a month ago. We were expecting the news and all it was was a request for even more medical information (they'd been given packets, literally). But, the wait has been worth it. Good news!
Also, Tony will have his jaw surgery on December 29th and his jaw will be wired shut (but he'll be back at work after 10 days supposedly). It's estimated that he'll get his braces off in May (he's almost done now, but they have to leave them in to help the jaw heal in perfect alignment). Then, he'll be able to have his dental work done to replace his missing teeth about 3 months after the braces come off (about August). That's the plan for now according to the experts.
