David is back in our room now sleeping a sound morphine-induced sleep. ZZzzzzzzz
The doc was not able to close his hard palate. David's soft palate was closed up (that's the part toward the back of the mouth that closes off your nose when you talk so you don't sound all nasally).
Nasally. That's a technical term that I just made up.
David will still sound nasally and be hard to understand when he talks since his hard palate is open. The doc said David will have to grow more before we're able to close his very wiiiiiiiide hard palate. I have a feeling we're looking at multiple surgeries to close his hard palate. The doc also did some work on David's lip and nose. The specific thing worth mentioning is that David's upper lip muscles were not attached at all when then did the lip repair in China. These muscles are now attached. I think the little man already looks a little different in his nose/mouth area even with the tape and stitches and swelling and blood goop.
Samuel is still sleep sitting in Jason's lap. He will be the munchkin in the most pain.
Please pray for a quiet night and that we can keep on top of the pain meds.
Love & (((hugs))),
chris & jason
