Asher tongue-tie surgery

Asher was born with a pretty severe tongue-tie that we didn't notice until he was a few months old. It mostly affected how he ate (which we were having a very hard time with). And could've cause speech problems when he got older. We took him in to an ENT and because he was no longer a newborn (stronger and more wiggly) we had to take him to a hospital and sedate him to do the surgery instead of doing it there in the office. My Mom came down to stay with Mantha because they don't allow any kids during the procedure and I wanted Ben there for support for Asher and myself. I tend to get emotional about this stuff after having gone through so much with Mantha. He was the 2nd one on the OR schedule (they do it in age order) so we had to be there at 6:00am with a 6:30am OR slot. Because they needed to sedate him, we brought him fasting which is always hard with the babies. But Ben was able to keep him smiling as we checked in and got vitals. We did it at a small local hospital instead of Primary Children's Hospital where we're used to going. The small hospital wasn't quite as versed in babies as we were used to, and I got nervous a few times with small things they did, but it went pretty smooth. The procedure was quick and Asher was a champ. I was able to nurse him minutes after the procedure was over. My Dad called several times from Primary to check on us and get the scoop on our anesthesiologist, he always wants the best for his grand kids. It took about a week for Asher to re-learn how to use his tongue, but it really helped with his gassiness and his ability to nurse.
