He did a great job with all the extra care braces require, along with all the dietary restrictions, for the entire time he had them. I was very impressed and proud of him.

We joked that he'd want nothing to eat for supper but marshmallows, caramel, nuts, and all the other foods he'd been denied for two years! But he was happy just having a Payday bar for dessert.
