Surgery Results

We are finally home - we actually were released early this morning, but we came home and slept. The surgery was successful in the terms that the hole is closed in AB's mouth. They did, however, have some complications. The tissue they had wanted to use was too scarred too use so they instead had to tissue from the front of the hole which left the bone exposed and additional pain for AB. They also had a difficult time with the stitching using the longer lasting stitches - these are to last for 4-6weeks instead of the ones that dissolve in 7-14days. She was able to do every other stitch with the longer dissolving stitches so we'll just have to wait and see how everything goes. The poor thing is doing ok - she spiked a temp at the hospital and they had a difficult time getting her heart rate to a normal rate but she finally came around. She's so hungry - she tried to eat last night and was in too much pain. We had some creamy chicken noodle soup and she's scarfed it down - so she's either feeling better or was too hungry to care. Either way, we're happy she's eating. She will be on a soft food diet for 2 weeks and the last time we knew that the hole had opened was on day 15. Please keep praying!!!!!
