Dr. Michael Singer is rebuilding the roof of Donnie's mouth. This upper palate will help Donnie speak more clearly and will give him the ability to chew and swallow. Read Dr. Singer's own words
This is an ongoing procedure and even as Donnie regains some things, others will always be lost to him. He lives in the constant pain caused by nerve damage and no matter how realistic the prosthetic, it IS a prosthetic. Even so, he and Sharon are so thankful for the wonderful blessings they have received, the people who have touched their lives and especially for the "strong fortress who has kept them safe."
