One tooth down

One of Rowan's front teeth finally fell out! At Cracker Barrel no less.

His new front tooth is coming in completely sideways. Hello, dental work.

Surgery still scheduled for Jan 14th.

Surgery scheduled

We saw Dr. T. last week. His office is way cool. He has all these different models of infant skulls and how they are affected by various clefts and/or syndromes. Very interesting.
But anyway... He agreed with the orthodontist, that Rowan needs his bone graft sooner rather than later. But he said it wasn't so urgent that we couldn't enjoy Christmas first.
So surgery is scheduled for Jan 14th. Pre-op is Jan 12th.
He'll be on a liquid diet for a couple of days and on a soft food diet for 6 weeks. Also no PE or recess for that 6 weeks.
So that's the news. We're hanging in there. January is sufficiently far away for us to forget about it for now.
