He has been tongue-tied since birth and to this point I did not think it was a big deal -- he ate great as an infant and his speech seemed on par with other 4 year olds. However, a couple of weeks ago at the dentist, she pointed out some speech issues he was having that could be directly related to being tongue-tied. I contacted our pediatrician and he referred us to an ENT who we saw yesterday. Evidently Wyatt was "severely tethered" and the ENT also thought it would be a benefit to have this taken care of. With it being the holiday weekend there were a lot of openings in today's surgery schedule and they fit us in first thing (7:30 am) this morning.
Wyatt did GREAT! He didn't not fuss about the early wake-up call (6 am) and he was very brave walking into the hospital. A friend of mine came with me to keep me company and help in case Wyatt got sick at all from the meds on the way home and we were surprised by one of our pastors (and good friend) who also showed up with treats to keep us company as well. Wyatt was entertained by Playhouse Disney as we waited for surgery time. All of the nurses were very kind and patient to my sensitive little boy. The hardest part of the whole ordeal was watching and listening to Wyatt scream for me as they took him back to surgery -- broke this mama's heart. The procedure itself went well and his hospital recovery was easy! It has been a long day with a tired and crabby boy, but overall I could not have asked for this to have gone better.
