This is my happy baby today. It has been a long week and I am excited to see him smiling again. He is doing much better today and is eating more and more. He still has a hard time eating baby food because it still gets in his nose and he doesn't know how to get it out. But he is hydrated. At this point that is all I care about. We saw the surgeon yesterday and he said that everything inside his mouth looked good and was healing nicely. So that is another relief. Don't mind all the slober on his chin and chest. He is trying to learn how to swallow again.
This is us with the surgeon (Dr. Kjar) right before we took the long walk with Dr. Bateman (the anesthesiologist). He is a really great doctor and we are lucky that we found him.
This is in Pre-Op getting in his "PJ's".
Not too thrilled.
This is after surgery. It is heartbreaking seeing him lay like that. He was so out it is so not like him.
We sat just like this for most of the day last week. That string on his face was his tongue stitch. It held down his tongue just in case he started bleeding and they need to stick a tube down his throat. Luckily we didn't need anything even close to that. The recovery has been long and we aren't done yet, but each day gets a little better. We have been really blessed to have great family and friends.
