"Hole? What Hole?"

... So yesterday (Thursday) Poppy, Willow and I (Victoria) set out for Children's Hospital to meet with Willow's surgeon to have him assess the self-inflicted palate hole we saw a few days ago.  After prying poor Willow's mouth open with a tongue depressor, he took one look inside and said, "There's no hole in there!"  At that moment, I felt both relief and embarrassment.  He is such a gracious man though that he quickly added, "But you know, it's a bit of a mess up there with all the suture marks, etc...I can see how you could be confused."  

So... we thank the Lord that all is still well "up there"!  Willow is actually making great progress in her articulation of sounds, and it is thrilling to hear the changes.  Poppy, of course, is extremely articulate and provides Willow with a continuous flow of well-spoken words to listen to.  : )
