Well 3 nights later I can truly say I don't know what the heck is going on in his mouth! The surgeon told us not to look - I didn't plan on looking! It just happend that I saw the "hole" when Wyatt and I were playing. Eric and I couldn't understand why there would be a hole along his gumline when he didn't even have a hole there to begin with. It was so deep and yucky looking compared to the other side.
Today I looked, and it seemed like it was less shallow. So now I'm thinking it was just where the muscle was harvested. If they remove tissue I suppose it would leave an area that looked like a hole - right? So now I'm hoping that's what we saw - just an ugly stage of the tissue growing back.
The surgeon said people often mistake the harvest sites as holes - he also said its quite possible that it is a hole. We'll find out next Tuesday. In the mean time I feel much better. Wyatt is sleeping through the night and he's off all pain medication. We started him on pureed foods tongiht and he'd enjoyed himself. Oh! He even signed "more" to me several times! That's a first for that sign. Damn I love that boy!!
