Day of Surgery

Today Tucker is having his tongue-tie removed. This will hopefully make it easier for him to take bottles and eat. It should also help him avoid the speech classes that tongue-tied children often have to take. Our morning started at 3:00am so that we could leave the house by 4:00am. We are scheduled for first case of the day which is 6:00am check-in and 7:30am surgery. The doctors came and took Tucker away for surgery right on schedule and at 8:00am he was in the operating room.

Update
Tucker came out of surgery at 9:00am and he promptly pulled out his IV. This took away the anesthesiologists ability to give the instantaneous pain medication. So he could only have Tylenol which took awhile to kick in. We are told he is doing great now that he has calmed down and we should be able to head for home around noon. He had very little bleeding an only received 75cc's of IV fluid.

Overdue Update

The last few weeks have been going really well for Tucker.  He has been eating much better and is on his way to eating as much as a healthy 6 month old. He still needs to work on getting a just a little more formula in him per day, but is doing really well with solid foods. Spencer's behavior has also been improving and we are no longer convinced he is going to end up in prison when hes older. He still has some problems listening and is occasionally stubbornly defiant. The soap buisness has been getting really busy and we can barely make the soap fast enough due to the curing time. Michelle has gotten a couple of stores to sell our handmade soap and we are going to try to do more craft shows this year. Everything at the house is still going pretty well, we just wish we had more time to get stuff done. Between the buisness, appointments, t-ball, soccer, and our jobs we can only get stuff done by sleeping less. We really hope Tucker is ready for a sleepover soon, because we could really use 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
