We are home, actually we got home yesterday afternoon. M---- has been a little clingy so I haven't got a whole lot done. She had to be on a clear liquid diet for 24 hours, a regular liquid diet for another 24 hours (drinkable yogurt has been our friend) and then 4 weeks of puree foods followed by another 2 weeks of soft foods such as overcooked noodles. She is feeling pretty good today. Had a bath and that always seems to help. She is very hungry. The girls have come up with three new words to use instead of Eat, Food or Hungry. We say the "E word", "F word" and "H word". In fact when sissy came home form work this morning, C---- took her in the bedroom, shut the door and explained how important it is to use these words instead so M--- doesnt feel so bad. She is always thinking of others. I cant wait until 11am then we can give her puddings, applesauce and other foods for her to eat as she keeps signing eat. : (
Hi! Your daughter is beautiful! My son will have a palate revision at Shriner's Portland on the 6th of May...it will be our first at Shriner's. Did it go okay overnight? How did the room sharing work out? We have had two surgeries at Doernbecher and the first time we had our own room, the second time, I insisted on leaving before nightfall. I'm a little worried...like you..my son is inconsolable when out of surgery.
