So from earlier postings you can see that we've been through a challening 1.5 weeks. The last 2 days Wyatt has been feeling much better and eating much better. I thought to myself this morning -we are half way there - almost done - alomost through with everything.
I noticed today that his was holding his mouth in a strange postion and thought that perhaps with his new tongue and palate that he was fixated on rubbing his tongue on his new roof.
Then tonight after his bath I was holding him in my lap and he put his head back with his mouth wide open and I saw it. A hole in his palate along his left gumline. I called Eric in to make sure I wasn't seeing things. He looked and he saw the same thing. Then I looked again - then he looked again. We just couldn't believe it. I've been crying for about half an hour.
So now we have to finish out the 3 weeks with braces and then...who knows? When will we have to take him back in? How will they fix it? Is it going to delay his speech and eating even more? What about the weight his lost from this operation - will he have to make that up before fix the hole? Is he going to be in as much pain? One thing is certain - he'll have to wear the arm restraints again for another 3 weeks. I HATE those things as much as Wyatt. I just can't believe it. I just can't believe it.
