Yesterday was surgery day for Miah. They are preparing her mouth for her bone graft surgery that will also occur in the Spring. She had a tooth that had erupted high up at the top of her cleft. There was just a small portion showing that made itself known a few months ago. We noticed after her last nose revision surgery that liquids were still making their way up through her nose...then one day, they just stopped...guess what was plugging the hole? Yup-that tooth! It will be interesting to see what happens now that they have removed the tooth. They were also able to see one fistula that is on the soft palate portion of her palate. It sounds like they could close that at the same time as the bone graft.
Miah was a star patient yesterday. She is so brave and compliant with all that is asked of her. She never cried once. Some of the cute things she said yesterday included:
"How is God going to hold me on the table?"
"That hospital sure has super sticky tape. I was tempted to cry when they took it off me but I didn't."
"Do you think the tooth fairy brought me lots of money because it was my first tooth or I had to have surgery to get it out?"
"When I was sleeping I didn't have any dreams. It was hard to remember if I was sleeping at home or in the hospital"
First words upon waking "I want a Popsicle."
She also laughed very hard at Mommy in the OR as I was wearing a hat. "Momma has a funny hat."
