Second frenectomy

Today Grant turns 10 months and, poor baby, had to have a second frenectomy. Remember our horrible experience in October? Well, when the Dr left, he didn’t give us any post op instructions and his tongue reattached and was worse than before. We have been having a hard time getting him to eat solids and he has been throwing everything up. He even went as far as to throw up at the sight of food the other day. He is getting to the point where he is pushing away his bottle.  I saw a dentist that specializes in this and she said he needs it done right away, in fact, she had them book their next available, which happened to be on his 10 month day. Poor boy screamed bloody murder. I could hear him from out in the waiting room. They gave me the choice to go in with him, but I just couldn’t. Turns out, it ended up being worse for me not being in the room because I couldn’t see what was going on so I was picturing his last surgery in my head and that was horrific. He did well though and calmed down quite quickly once they got their hands out of his mouth! They all commented on how strong he is! This time they swaddled him and numbed him so he didn’t feel a thing! I am so grateful for this Dr and her expertise! I would recommend her to everyone!!! Her name is Dr. Ashley Hoban. She’s a great pediatric dentist too if you’re looking for a good one!

He's smiling at the nurses! He was flirting big time!

 

Still smiles for his monthly picture!

 

And still happy enough to play with his girlfriend!
