The Tongue

Declan gave us a nasty fright just over a week ago when he slipped in the bathroom and bit his tongue. The was lots of blood and a loose bit of tongue. I panicked abit and called 000. they sent an ambulance who thought it wasnt bad enough to go to
hospital and that it would heal on its own...Well, I took him to my own doctor a few days later as it didnt look good. She consulted a surgeon who decided over the phone that that sort of tongue lasceration would need stitching . We headed off to the surgeon who booked him the next day to have that tongued sewd back together. I was ever so scared about him being put to sleep but knew it had to be done. Wednesday morning we went off to a very nice private hospital in KEW where Declan we were very quickly seen to. First they slipped Declana seditive and it was quite funny to watch him go from playing with the toys to unable to sit up. It was good though because ofcourse he was more relaxed when it came time to lie on the operating table. I suited up in my gown,, hat and bootie covers before holdiong his hand as he drifted off to sleep. It was a heartbreaking moment as I ocould see his fear but it was quick. Within 40 mins we were called to recovery to a secreaming Declan. Anyway It is nearly a week since his little advendure and it is healing so well. He has been so brave and we only hope we dont have to go through this again LOL.
