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.
