Tongue Update

Jonathan's surgery for his tongue has been scheduled for Friday, July 29th at 7 am at Dr. Morrison's office with Dr. Perry assisting. They will need to put him completely under with general anaesthesia, which scares me so I am just praying everything will be ok. The procedure itself should only take about 20 minutes and he is expected to get about 6 stitches. The bad news is that since it is already healing, they will need to re-cut it open and then stitch it up. I still feel so bad for Jonathan but he is doing so well. I don't think it even bothers him anymore so I debate if we should get it fixed or not. I obviously don't want him to have a snake tongue for life but it is getting better each day and he is talking and eating better too. Regardless, the oral surgeon didn't think it would heal completely on it's own since it is at the tip of the tongue. Here are some pictures, they are not the best as it really is hard to capture in a picture.
