Haven has now had her NAM for over 2 weeks and it has made a huge difference! Dr. Figueroa says she will be ready for surgery in about 6 weeks! This week she started sleeping ALL through the night as well. Life couldn't be better!
She did have her first surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago to: remove part of a tooth (go figure!), loosen tissue so her lip can be moved over gradually with the NAM, and to have the impression done for the NAM. We had to be at Rush at 5am and she wasnt able to eat which was harder on us than her I think. All in all, this was a very crazy day for our family and I'm glad it's over. She didn't do very well with anesthesia but she was only about 7lbs so we're assuming she will come out of it much better for her lip surgery. We had to stay over one night which we didn't plan on doing but the up side is that we met the staff on the Pediatric ICU and loved them. We know we'll feel very comfortable when we go back for her lip surgery next month. Just another reasone we LOVE Rush!
I know this is not a pretty picture...but it wasn't a pretty day.
We survived and life went on. :)
