Jude did great today. We had the girl's sleep over at someones house and we were up with Jude very early and at the hospital at 6:15am. They got his vitals and he got to wear a very cool yellow and white striped gown and then we hung out and waited to get going. We went to the OR with him, met with his doctor and then it was time for him to leave with a nurse. He cried a little, and we left quick so I didn't cry too! We went and got a tea and something to eat and then headed back to our room to wait for his arrival. The procedure was very quick, he was only away from us for 45 min total and came back crying being rolled back on his bed. He layed on me for a while and cried and woke up. Very soon though he started to interact, read books and took some juice, ok, he took a lot of juice. He bounced back very fast and soon was wanting to run around and play. We waited for about 2 hours for the doctor to finish up the rest of his surgeries and come discharge Jude. The nurses took out his IV, gave him 2 cool band aids and said we were free!
Jude's mouth looks great. They released the top and bottom ties with a small laser and he didn't even need stitches. His mouth will be a bit sore and we will keep him on Tylonel, he is sleeping now and when he wakes up we will give him some soft food. He got to have a popcicle in the hospital.
It already has made a difference. He is sticking his tongue out and running his tongue all over the inside of his mouth and laughing. It has been 19 months of not being able to do these things and he is having fun doing it! We look forward to hearing the new sounds he will be able to make too.
We are glad that it is done, and that he did great. I am going to head out now and meet the girl's at there skating party for school and see how their night was!
