Celebration Time, Come on! -- Originally Published December 28, 2007

JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE ALL THE WAY! OH WHAT FUN TO CELEBRATE OUR PALATE REPAIR TODAY!

We went to see Dr. Plastic Surgeon today, and Michael is doing fabulously! His repair looks beautiful, and Dr. Plastic Surgeon think the chances of fistulas (holes) developing is very low. The best part of all, says Michael, is that the restraints are gone. Michael can suck his thumb again and jam anything he can reach into his mouth! Yay!

We're allowed to start oral feedings, and Michael has no more restrictions. He can even puke again, if he wants. (ha, ha.) This means we can work our way back to the old, old feeding schedule that Michael liked, which will make him very happy.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I know we'll be having one. We're off to celebrate now.
