Wesley's tongue

December

January
February

Back in October when Wesley ran into a wire fence at the orchard his tongue was cut pretty badly. It didn't heal very well because he kept chewing on the piece that was hanging off {shudder}. I took him in to see an Oral surgeon in December after our dentist looked at it. The surgeon said the piece hanging off would possibly need to be cut off and his tongue sewed back up, but that stitches from tongue surgeries often come out because of how strong the tongue is (especially on kids who can't be more careful). He suggested watching it for a few more weeks. So then I took him back in January and I was pretty excited that it had gotten quite a bit smaller. The doctor had scheduled a time at the hospital for Wes to come in but thankfully we didn't need it. Hooray! Now it is almost completely gone, just a very small bump. Pretty amazing. Wesley is happy that he can now eat on both sides of his mouth. And he's probably happy that I will stop saying, "Wesley, let me see your tongue!"
