Surgery.......

Christopher has an appointment tomorrow morning to "fix" his tongue! Christopher is tongue tied so 9:45 am we are going to get it snipped! He has no idea, but I am getting anxious for him! Dr. Simon will have to use general anesthesia, due to his age, but says it will take 15-20 minutes. The remarkable thing about your tongue, it heals within 24 hours! If we leave his tongue the way it is, it will lead to pronounced speech problems. Ideally, this is done when they are younger, then you don't have to be put under, but with everything else this little man has been going through!
We met with Sara, our PT on Friday and this morning, and today proved a little more challenging! Christopher wants to be on the move, trying to get his stretches in were a team effort, and we are trying to get him to use his left arm more for development purposes. We are trying to get him to extend and reach upward. The only constant with Christopher is that he goes right down for his nap afterwards without any problems!
Also wanted to add that Christopher got his first tooth! It explains a lot!!!!!!!
We are getting ready for a much needed vacation next week, the older kids are getting excited, I am too. I cannot wait to see what the twins think of the beach, and getting pictures of all of them on the beach, will make it worth all of the preparations and planning.
