Blakely's Procedure

We found out at Blakely's 1st doctor's visit that she was tongue tied.  Once the doctor pointed it out to us, we realized that she was tongue tied pretty bad.  He said that we could watch it until her next appointment and see if it loosens up itself or if we wanted to talk about having it clipped.  If we didn't have it clipped there would be a chance that she could have speech problems when she got older.  We noticed between that appointment and her 2 month well check up that it had loosened up, but not enough.  The doctor sent us to an ENT to get his opinion, and it was the same, we didn't have to do it, but we take the chance of speech problems.  So we decided to get it done as soon as possible.  She had to be put under and that was a little nerve racking for mom, but she did great and was only under about 30 minutes.  The procedure only takes about 3 minutes so that was nice it was so quick.  She was great all day Friday, but I think had a little pain on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.  Poor little thing doesn't realize that the more she cries, the more it's going to hurt because she is moving that tongue around like crazy crying.  We could already tell on Friday that she was moving that tongue around a lot more so that was good.

Here are a couple of pictures of her stylin' in her hospital gown that was way too big for her.
