Hi there,
I know this is very late in coming, but in my defense, I wrote all about Oscar's palate repair and I lost it... then I was too tired to do it again and I'm only now finding my way out of the post surgery haze!
Oscar is doing really well after surgery on the 8th July. It was fairly uneventful and after 2 nights in hospital we were sent home much to our delight! Hospital rooms are not made for 3 people!!
It's been a pretty unsettled few weeks with Oscar not sleeping well and feeling generally under the weather, but he's back at daycare this week and zooming around the place with his arm bands on (these are to prevent anything sharp or hard getting into his mouth and undoing the surgeons handywork). He only has to have them on for another couple of days so yippie to that!
Much to my delight, two of my dear friends have had babies during this time. Melissa had baby Molly in Australia on the 6th July and Cath has baby Nico in Auckland on the 14th July. We are excited to meet them and get to know them in the coming months and years. Hard to believe Oscar is 13 months already!
We've had a pretty crazy year and to be honest, I think it's only just dawning on me that we've been through so much without too many meltdowns - although Brennan may tell you otherwise... I found the lack of sleep after this last op almost unbearable and wasn't at my best! Anyway, that is all behind us now and there are no surgeries on the cards for us for 8 or 9 years. So raise your glasses to Oscar and lets celebrate a brave and adorable wee man.
