Tyler update: he is finally back to his old self after 14 grueling days! i was growing weary that he was never going to perk up. i never imagined he would take 14 days to play, smile, and enjoy life again. for 2 weeks he was dazed and confused. and it wasn't the drugs, cause we stopped them, i think it was just how he dealt with the pain and inconvience of it all. we already know he has one small hole where the soft and hard palate meet. the extent of the hole is unknown, as it will grow and change with time. it may be something that never needs fixed, or needs fixed with his bone graft years from now. as his speech develops, we will know more the severity of the hole. i am not dissappointed though. he was so severe going into the surgery, that i am just glad the hole palate is not flayed open. a little hole i can mentally deal with. he is still on restricted foods, but he is taking the foods he can have so meal times are pleasent again. the sleeping is another issue, that we just take night by night. he has good and bad nights with no reasons for either, so we just sleep when we can. i am glad i took 1 month off of work, and he has a few more days to get sleeping better so mommy can function safely at work again! here are some pixs of the kids in the last few days...
pitiful boy, during our hospital stay!!!
