Troy's surgery

On Friday Troy went into the outpatient center to have his tongue tie lasered. We also woke up to this:

I was pretty nervous. They put him all the way under but there is no need for pain medicine because it's pretty simple. They kept saying, "It will feel like he burnt his tongue." I guess that's not too bad. Luckily my friend Ashley has been through it all before, her daughter had the same thing, so she helped talk me through it! That was so helpful! Here is Troy's before picture:

This is Troy after:

And here is Troy awake and ready to leave:

Once it was all done I thought that it was not too bad but I think I got a taste of what moms feel like when there kiddos have to undergo surgery. It's kind of a scary feeling! While all that was going on this is what Hailey was doing:


She got an awesome makeover from Grandma Hakes and Aunt Carrie. Hailey had a lot of fun! Thanks for helping us out! Here is a you tube video of a dentist doing one if you are interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDnJb61sHe4 Honestly after a saw this once I couldn't watch it again. We had a wonderful ears, nose, and throat Doctor who performed this for us and he did a great job. I'm glad we got it done. I'm also glad it's over. He has recovered really well. It really hasn't been too traumatizing. It's pretty cute to see him using his tongue differently, like today and yesterday he has started blowing/spiting, I can't really explain it but it's so cute and before he couldn't put his tongue there. There are some negative side effects for not fixing a tongue tie such as possible nursing problems, possible speech problems, not being able to lick an ice cream cone and difficulty kissing. Hopefully none of our other kids will be born with this.
