When we got home yesterday Zachary had a pretty rough couple of hours. The numbness was wearing off and he seemed to be in quite a bit of pain :( After some back rubbing, cuddling, and pain meds he seemed to be a lot better. The surgery took almost 2 hrs. They ended up using donor tissue instead of taking some from the roof of his mouth. I didn't realize we had that option. At first I was kind of nervous about that idea, but the peri surgeon thought it was best for Zachary because he was so nervous and uncomfortable. Having to have 2 surgery sites would lengthen recovery and heighten pain. Last night we watched Furry Vengeance, played board games, and relaxed. By early evening, after being medicated, he was hard to keep down. He was able to eat eggs, bread, cocoa wheats and smoothies. Grandma Susie came over to visit and that always seems to make things all better :)
So far this morning he has been pretty good. Little crabby lol but not uncomfortable. Thanks everyone who has been thinking of him. We have 1-2 weeks of a soft diet and then we should be in the clear. Takes a little over a month to fully heal though.
