Samuel's surgery went well. It went five hours, and the doc was able to close up his palate. They did the lip adhesion too which means they put Sammy's lip parts together. His lip doesn't look a whole lot better now because it is pulled pretty tight. It will look better over time, and the next surgery (his lip repair) will fix him up so he looks even better.
Sammy is still oh so uber-cute you wouldn't believe it :o)
David is in now and we don't know how long his surgery will take. The doc planned for about 4 hours and they started around 1pm. The reason we don't know how long is the doc doesn't know how much tissue they have to work with in his palate until he gets in to take a look. If there is lots of tissue to work with, then the doc may be able to close up the whole palate and that will take longer. If there isn't alot to work with, then they will be done sooner. That's the palate part. If he does do a lip repair, we're not sure how much the doc can get done as far as cleaning up scar tissue, redoing his muscle connections, and lining things up better. So who knows how long that will take.
David has charmed and won over the entire surgical staff...
OK, time for more pain meds... then Mama is going to try to nap. HAHAHAHA
