Day 1 and 2

Ready to go home-
Today was a good day. We're working through the changes and Reed is such a trooper. He is drooling a lot, probably because everything is still swollen. He went through 4 shirts today, each one was soaked even with a bib over it. Oh, and this may sound strange but it was easier feeding him before the surgery than it is now. With his lip closed I can't tell if he's chewing good and it scares me- he tries to eat so much so fast that he almost gets choked. Sleeping is also a difficult thing right now because he is used to his nose and mouth being open- now that his lip is closed he is having trouble breathing when he sleeps so mama is laying in the floor all night beside the crib listening.

Bless you all...the things that we won't do for our babies. I hope that after the swelling goes down that things will get easier for Reed as well as Momma!

Wow Tina. He looks so good. I am glad to hear that he is doing well. You are in my prayers. Matty will have surgery in July.
