Surgery Update

So nice to hear from you and sorry I've been a stranger also to you all! Things have just been very busy around here for quite awhile!

Ally's surgery went as good as we could hope for. Her palate was very wide, so our doctor was too sure that it would all stay stitched together without a hole starting again. She was having a lot of pain for all most a week and a half with her not sleeping more the thirty minutes at a time all night long and then being very ornery the next day. She had lots of meds that we gave her and soft food for two weeks before giving her anything she wants!

It was then Easter and we went to the neighbor's house for an Easter Egg hunt where she caught strep throat. So that didn't help at all! So back on meds for ten days.

It has been three weeks now and she went back to the doctor today. She has one hole in the middle of her mouth that he said he would wait to see if it closes up itself in the next three months or if he may need to go back in and fix it again, but all and all it looks good.

She is back to normal now and we are hoping she will start sleeping all through the night and quit waking up crying one or two times a night. Soon we will get her started with learning how to talk I hope. She has learned her own sign language. It's funny!

She is still little and hasn't put on any wait yet, but is a little taller. The doctor today said she is puny for being two and a half. I thought that sounded cute myself.
