The little man is home and looking good! Most of the swelling is bone deformity, caused by the abscess. There is a small amount of pus that is draining into mouth. Simon burred his teeth, while he was asleep and was able to get right to the back of the mouth where the teeth are seriously misplaced due to the abscess. He now has good jaw movement. It's going to be a case of seeing how he recovers. The good news is, he's already making great progress with eating! He's to continue on the antibiotic, Zithromax and will see Simon again in a week or sooner if I'm worried.

In the longer term the worry now is how well his dental issues can be managed. He has a very small mouth, and a lot of jaw damage, caused by the abscess.

However, I never look any further than the day we are on, and today he is doing well and making excellent progress, so there is plenty to smile about. I will worry if, and when, there is something to worry about.
 
Benji is doing really well with eating for himself. I'm giving him his veggies away from Rebecca as he's still eating a little slowly and missing out a bit when he's with her. He gets his on his own and then I put him back with her and they have some together.
