Cody's Frenectomy

Cody was born with a tongue-tie and we've known about it since birth. As it didn't affect breast feeding which usually is a big concern with infants, we left it alone. But since coming to the Philippines, we've been nagged by our paed to get it cut. So, we did!!

It was a simple procedure but Cody has to be put under general anesthesia. I have to say, though i've seen Tyler go thru it before, it still affects me when i see it done on Cody. The way they lay there unconscious just is somehow disturbing.

Anyways, Cody's surgery went off without a hitch apart from the 20 min top-of-the-lungs screaming after the surgery. Apparently not due to pain but from the effects of anesthetics and apparently quite normal. And I believe it as after 30 mins, he bounced back to be the happy bubbly Cody that we know! And on our way home, he was sticking his tongue out and wiggling it around with glee!!!
