It will be one week tomorrow that Miah had her lip/nose revision surgery done. I can't believe how fast this week has flown by and how well she is doing. Yesterday she had the packing taken out of her left nostril. She was very happy to be able to breathe easier. She was very brave while they removed it and only jumped a bit as the surgeon pulled it out. He rewarded her by giving her a Yo-Yo. He's on her list of people she likes again :)
Today her incision line is less red than yesterday. It is amazing what even 24 hours can do to the healing process. The only struggle that we are having is that this experience seems to have brought back to the surface her obsession with food. We were finally at a point where food did not seem to be an issue anymore. She ate happily at meal time and stopped when she was full. Maybe it was the pureed food for the first few days that has set her back into this obsession to know when every meal time and snack time will be. She has been asking to eat every 1/2 hour and gets upset when I tell her it is not time. Hopefully this will pass soon enough.
She is sleeping great though! Last time after surgery she would wake up many times in the night crying and I was worried about that happening this time too. So far so good!!!
Looking great! Glad to hear Miah is doing well. Caleb asks about eating ever 1/2 hour too...drives me crazy! Not sure hat his excuse is????
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear she is still sleeping through the night. I really think that long uninterrupted sleep really helps the healing process. Hoping that after a few more days of solid foods that Miah will relax again around food...
ReplyDeleteShe really looks great! That is interesting regarding the food issues... but sounds like a comfort thing for her!
ReplyDeleteShe looks beautiful and the site looks like it is healing so well. Thanks for the update!
