For laser surgery. Yay!

Gracie is tongue tied – she has a tight frenulum. Feel under your tongue. That little piece of tissue that connects it to the bottom of your mouth? Yours is probably long enough to allow you to tough your tongue to the roof of your mouth. She can’t. So she’s getting surgery to snip it. And because this runs in families, my son will be having the same surgery on another day. Fun!

The surgery is called a frenelectomy and will be done under a local anesthetic. She’s nervous, and actually, so am I. My stomach has been churning this morning worrying about her. I know she’ll be fine but the hardest part is going to be getting her under the local anesthetic with the shots. She doesn’t like shots, and I don’t like watching my kids get shots.

I took a before picture, and I plan on taking after pictures so she can see the difference.
