5 more months of waiting....

Yesterday the dr. recommend we wait until Vinnie is 10-12 months of age to get his tongue snipped. There is no question, he said he needs to get it done because it will cause speech problems. They have to put him under to do the surgery, and at 5 months he is too young since he has no problems right now with his tongue, he eats fine and obviously can't talk yet. The dr. said when he starts finger food he is more prone to choke, and if this happens a lot, then to bring him in and he can get it done sooner. Im relieved I finally have an answer!:)

I'm glad things seem more settled for you. I'm so sorry he even has to go through this, but I'm sure he'll be fine. The surgery will probably be easier on both of you when he's a little older, and it will be over & in the past before you know it.

I am so proud of you for pushing the issue. The surgery isn't that bad. Hannah breezed through it although she was 3 when she had it done. I think it would be easier for Vinnie since he is so small. Hannah had to have hers sewn back because it was so bad. Lots of hugs and attention and she was fine. I am so happy that you found a doctor that is smart enough to know that this is a real problem and need to be remedied. Let me know if you need anything.
