Post-Op Update

It's been a little over two weeks since Q's palate surgery and she's doing great! 
She had her first post op visit to the surgeon this past Thursday and he's
pleased so far with her recovery.  She's still got 4 more weeks of
soft foods.  Most of the swelling is gone, except for the tiny bit
around the top lip/gum area.  It's still pretty sensitive.  Interestingly,
she has more food coming out of her nose now than before surgery. The
doctor thinks it's just the small holes that are in the front gum area
and they will close eventually. 

In the past week, she's been feeling more like herself.  She's starting
to babble and sing more.  She's even feeling up to playing with her
toys.  Sleep has taken a few steps backwards as far as needing mommy,
but this was expected.

We're thankful for the prayers for safe surgery and speedy recovery.
She still has more surgery in her future, but at least we've got a few years
to forget this one. :-)

A couple of pics of before and after surgery.

Her last meal before surgery...she LOVES tortilla chips and salsa.

About two hours after surgery. 

 Two days post op...really mom, do you have to take my picture?! :-)
