7-8-09...tongue un-tied

Well Mama and Daddy took me to Long Island New York to the very best of the best, Dr. Betty Coryllos. She is the very doctor who actually discovered my type of tongue tie - just 9 years ago. I did indeed have what they call a 4th degree tongue tie - which is the furthest back, at the very base of my tongue. She also agreed that the frenulum to my upper lip was much too tight. Mama swaddled me up, Dr.Coryllos put some numbing stuff on me, Daddy held my body, Mama held my head, then Dr.Coryllos went snipitty snip snip - and I was all fixed. Oh, don't kid yourself. It wasn't QUITE that easy in person...but Dr.Coryllos was AMAZING! Just a few minutes after the procedure I was already sticking my tongue out and about and wiggling it all around. Mama says she notices a difference in my latch already - YAY!

Here I am right after the procedure - I sure was tuckered out!

When we got home I rested all wrapped up in my Miracle Blanket - GOSH I love this thing.

upper lip frenulum - BEFORE - see how tight it was?
AFTER - that's much better!

Mama doesn't dare lift up my tongue yet to get a good picture, but it is much better too.

THANK YOU for all your prayers and well wishes. It feels special to be so loved and cared for!
