Yesterday we met with a ENT doctor to talk about fixing Jake's tongue tie. (here's the link about that, again.) Jake was really good and actually let the doctor look in his mouth. We had to wait like 1/2 an hour past our appointment time to be seen, though, and it was a $30 co-pay and the doctor only talked to us for like 7 minutes. But whatever.
We're scheduled for October 11th early in the morning to get it done. It's an out-patient surgery, they'll put him to sleep with a mask, and we'll be done in like 15 minutes. Then nothing salty or spicy for a week. It sucks that he has to go through this, but really it's a minor procedure, and I'm looking forward to his speech and eating improving.

Poor Jake! Where is he having the surgery? Ella's ear surgery was through B*aptist and we were really happy with them. I was so worried about her being put under (they used the mask) but she did fine and really has no memory of any of it. The nurses were nice and they let her sit in one ladies lap while they put her under.

Sean was severely tongue tied when he was born. Thankfully he had it done as a baby with his second surgery. They say he would not have been able to talk if not done it was so bad. His lips were also attached firmly, he fell and unattached them himself when he learned to walk. He saved the insurance about $10,000! Good luck!

Ouch!!Sounds like it'll be a little tough afterwards! The mouth is a sensitive area. But Jake is a trooper, I'm sure he will do well!

Jen,
I'll be thinking of Jake. Nathan and Elijah have both had this done and recovery was very quick. Angela and her sister also had the same procedure when they were children.
Take Care,
Sheri

I'll be thinking of you both on the 11th, hope it all goes really well. Maybe Jake can have lots of his fave icecream for a while afterwards?? :)
