All smiles before the big event

Monday was a traumatic day in the Wood household. Geagen underwent surgery to correct her attached tongue (also known as being tongue-tied). Previously she had not been able to move her tongue past her gums and stick it out of her mouth. Thankfully her ear/nose/throat specialist was able to fix this at 10 weeks instead of having to wait until she was older. She had problems eating before her surgery and has already improved despite being both sore and groggy. She was a very brave girl in the hospital and was a model patient. The hardest part was sending her off to the operating room and then the wait for the surgery to be over and come out of the recovery room. It was a very long hour and fifteen minutes but she came through just fine. She is now discovering her tongue and moves it around a lot. It's like a new toy to her so we see it a lot when she is all smiles and giggles.
