siiiiiiiiiiiiiggghhhhh

I had completely forgotten what a normal breathing baby looked and sounded like. No more gurgling, gasping, pausing, snorting, coughing, chest caving, head twisting, arm flailing.....

The surgery went supper smooth and fast. It was easier than they all were expecting. It took the minimal about of time (2 hours, even with the extra procedure due to the tear duct) and there is hardly any swelling. They distracted his ramus 4 millimeters right there on the operating table so the results were immediate. He couldn't on the day of the surgery or the day after, so he was pretty cranky, even juiced up on morphine, but now that he is getting his numy num again he is smiling, flirting and hasn't had a drop of pain meds in 6 hours. Tomorrow we will head home and start turning the 'screws' 2 times a day for 2 weeks to get about 1 centimeter a day. We actually want him to end up with a bit of an under bite, so you'll keep your Jay Leno jokes to yourself if you know what's good for you.
