Our original plan for #BracesOnFaces was one set per year, but the first two sets were on in 15 months. Then we adjusted the plan for the next sets to take as long as needed because I was no longer working a part-time job to pay for them. Lo and behold, the third set went on just a couple weeks past the two year mark of our start on this adventure. Amazing!
Naomi headed into Senestraro Family Orthodontics yesterday morning without braces, then came out a while later with lavender and teal rubber bands adorning the brackets on her teeth. As we did with Silas and Devon, we got a group picture of the patient, doctor, mom, and pie chart.
Let's take a closer look at her pie chart. It was only five months from the first 5% to the final 5% and only nine months from Devon's turn at braces to Naomi's. Nine months!! Without working a job to pay for it. Folks, the way God's worked this out has been amazing!
Naomi headed out with Pam within minutes of returning home, but I got a picture of my newest braces wearer later in the day.
I'm so, so, so thankful for the means to get braces for three kids in two years, a phenomenal ortho staff, and friends who share in my excitement of the progress we make in our quest to get #BracesOnFaces.
Next up? Tyler. He'll have two phases of orthodontia, one soon-ish and another when he's older so the next pie chart will be for his first phase. And because God just keeps blessing our socks off in this area of life, our portion of Tyler's first phase will be covered by insurance reimbursements from Devon's braces. How cool is that?!
