Lily's Surgery

Lily had surgery to repair the cleft in her lip yesterday. The surgery lasted about an hour and a half; it went well and Lily came out of the anesthesia ok. The doctor said the surgery would help align the muscles in her lips and give her better muscle control. Lily was quite sleepy and not feeling well yesterday -- but today she has been much happier. She's been drinking her milk well and is doing ok eating her 'baby food'. The hardest part has been entertaining her. It's challenging to keep her happy 'and' keep her hands and toys out of her mouth. It's been a long day keeping both kids safe and happy - hopefully life will get easier as her lip heals and she doesn't need to be watched so intently.
