2nd surgery-Complete

Yesterday Ethan had the Latham appliance put in his mouth.  The surgery took about 10 minutes.  He did great.  It took him longer to wake up yesterday than it did the week before.  He was upset, but not as angry.  He slept most of the time in recovery, and this week he wanted Daddy. 

We (meaning Bill) have to tighten the device 4 times a day. This is something we were not aware of, until after the surgery.  I was nervous about this, because Ethan fights us just to put ear drops in his ear.  Well, Ethan still fights, but not as hard. And Bill is able to tighten it.

Ethan did not sleep well last night. Cried out a lot between 12-7 AM  He was not in pain, he just did not want to sleep. 

He's doing great today. Is eating and drinking. He's playing.  It does not seem to be bothering him.

We have an appointment with the orthodontist on April 26 and then the surgeon on April 27.  They seem to think we'll be having the lip repaired in a few weeks. 

Here are some photos from the hospital.  Thanks for your prayers!
