Friday Appointment with Mac

We met with the surgeon on Friday afternoon to discuss what will happen from here. Dr Strumas examined Dru and was shocked by how strong this little boy was. He has to get a tongue depressor and use 2 hands and a lot of force to get his mouth open. He then cried really hard...poor boy has had some many people in his little mouth lately.

They are disappointed that this has happened but it happens! The thought is that the stitches attached itself to a blood cloth, so when it disappeared, the stitches had nothing to hold on too. They cannot do anything right now. Dr. Strumas said it would be like putting a hot knife in butter. So, we need to wait for this to heal and then try again. The earliest it will be is in June.  We are permitted to get him on a regular diet but trying to avoid hard things.

I am so worried. What if it continues to separate? I am so sad that he will need another surgery soon. Wow! I thought this was going to be a breeze because we have been down this road before and, his cleft palate seemed not as wide as Miss Diva's.

Oh well, I am going to try and enjoy March Break with my princess at home.
