My Men: 30 Minutes Post-Op
Micah is happily giving Sophie the Giraffe a tour of our hotel room floor as I type this. Just now he stopped by to pull up on my leg and give me a grin, and I can’t help but wonder . . . did he REALLY have surgery just an hour ago???
When they took him away, I felt sick and panicky. I couldn’t go with him. I couldn’t do anything but pray. But in a flash he was back in my arms. There was almost no blood and he was happy and calm within two minutes. It was absolutely incredible. And the nursing?? AHhhh! Dr. Kotlow did an amazing job with his lip tie and also went a little deeper with his tongue tie, and his latch feels PERFECT and COMFORTABLE for the first time. My heart is bursting!!
Thank you for your prayers and well wishes. Now we’re off to explore Albany.

Awww! Thank you, Emily!
Yay! So glad to hear the good news! Here’s to many, many, many more perfect latches!
Yeah! Your post made my eyes fill with tears. I am so thankful that all went well. God is good!
There you are!!! I’ve been missing you
Thank you, Margo Snider. All is definitely well. Are you going to The Art of Birth tomorrow/
?
That’s fantastic!
And I thought when you said NY, you meant NYC. We’re in Plattsburgh, about 3 hours north of Albany. Enjoy upstate, it’s the best! How long are you in NY?
We’re leaving in the morning because we miss our little girl, but our time here has been AMAZING. Started out in Albany today and got as far as Essex. Lovely drive. Fantastic weather. One of my favorite weekend trips ever.
Oh man, we could have connected for sure! We go to Essex every Friday night to our CSA.
On another note, I just checked our little girl for this since I’ve been noticing some painful nursing and teeth indentations on occasion when she nurses. Based on the pictures you referred to, she definitely has an upper maxillary tie, and so do I! I’ll definitely be contacting Dr. Kotlow. Thank you so much for this info!
Sooo happy for all of you! Hooray!
Thank you, Kirsten! I’m pretty happy for myself, too!
How wonderful. I can just imagine your complete joy. Hugs! xox
