Here was Tuesday's schedule. It took WAY more time to "get ready" for this surgery than for the surgery itself!
6:10am - check in and wait.
7:30am - they take him for surgery
7:47am - he's already in recovery!!
8:30am - we were heading home!!!!!!!!!
It was completely unreal!! I know that the palate was already done and fixed for the last 3 weeks but it was covered up by that ugly stinky splint - so it was amazing (there I go with that word again) to see it for the first time! It looks a bit more "bumpy" I guess is the word, than ours but the coloring is normal and I can barely see where the seams were made that connected the different pieces together. The inside of his cheeks had dissolvable stitches which I believe are already gone and that is also healing nicely!
There have been some changes in Logan in the past 3 weeks - some good, some not so good! ;-)
- He got at least 2 new molars since the last time that I could touch his gums! Poor guy!!
- When he sneezes, you no longer have to watch out for bits of flying food!
- He doesn't give kisses anymore!!!!! :-( I am hoping he relearns this and quick!!
- He had a pretty good scowl going on when his splint was in and here it is - several days after removal - and he still uses that scowl! However ... he uses his SMILE so much more! :-D
