I did it, i really did it. Poor girl!

Hey Sissy I think that wonderful you did that for her. If it was me I would have done the same thing. Your a good mommy.

I would have gotten both of them done at the same time as well. No sense in making her go through it at separate times. I think it was a good thing for you to get it done. Especially now before her tongue interferes with her trying to talk.

What is tongue-tied? I've never heard of this? I've always had my kids immunized. We have the ability to keep them safe, why take risks? Just my thought on it.

I have a similar issue with my youngest...only in a different area. He has a condition involving his foreskin and urethra. Right now it doesn't cause any complications but it might after puberty and during adulthood. The surgery to correct it is on average at least 90 minutes and under general anesthesia. Usually they want to do it when they're around 18 months, which he is already, but I haven't even taken him to see the specialist yet. I know there are fewer complications when this surgery is done at a young age compared to if he has it done as an adult...but then again he may not have any complications at all ever by not fixing it. I am so uncomfortable with the general anesthesia and the amount of pain meds he'll be on post surgery, plus the catheter for at least a week and a huge amount of stitches required for such a small area...the procedure itself would turn almost anyone's stomach so I'll at least spare you those details. I don't want to put him through that but then I worry if he'll be mad that I didn't once he's an adult and wishes he looked normal down there...not that he looks abnormal, he just looks like he had half of a botched circumcision. (for those who do want to understand better what he has and what the surgery involves, just do a search on hypospadias)

I hadn't realised that your poor little ~Angel had this condition and I know it must have been difficult for you to have this procedure done! I think it was great to get both done at the same time as she will never remember the pain and it is all over and done with! I bet it was very emotional for you but I am very proud of you! xxxx

What am I missing? To cut what?

No, thanks God till now its not like that. its good that you took this chance and at last she is well. whatever decision you took is absolutely ok. she has to live her life healthy. you have to make her normal.

that is really a choice that I did not have to make and I am so sorry that you had to make it,I pray your daughter is feeling better this morning and every thing is ok God Bless

Sweetheart, not like yours. Circumcision was the only clipping we had to do. You did the right thing Sunshine. It would have been harder for her the longer you waited. She will probably be sore and maybe find it hard to nurse, but babies heal fast and bounce back faster than you can blink. I am proud of you sweets... Love you and miss you lots.

Only for circumcision for my son....and while they did it I could hear him cry and my mother had to hold me back as I wanted to beat up the doctor! lOL

COngratulations!I'm very happy to hear that!Good luck with you and your daughter.You are really a good mother.

That is a hard decision. Well if medically it supports that cutting will help her health and development later on, go For it! it will be painful but she is young and she will appreciate your courage later. Two months sure is young. By the way what kind of painkiller did they give her? just curious?

I've never had to face this desicion, but I think you did the right thing. My baby had his two month needles on Monday, and that was hard enough (for me LOL). It would have taken a lot of courage to have the cutting done too. One question if you don't mind my curiosity. Did her being tongue-tied make it hard to breatfeed? Someone told me that it can really interfere with the latch.

My dear Sissy before i started this post, I offered some prayers for your girl so that the Lord will help her all through the whole process till she gets fully recovered and be able to be speak like other normal kids. I'm blessed to have not encountered yet such a tough situation. But with you, I imagine your feelings as I being a mother myself. We will always do the best for our child at any expense. Sometimes it is really very difficult but by the grace of God we can always reach the best decision for our children. May God bless you for being such a loving mother and may God bless your child and give her the gift you so desire for her.

Wow, sissygrl, you learn something new eveeryday. I have heard tounguetied before but did not know it was an actual condition. I just thought it meant you couldn't get your words out. Thanks for teaching me something new today. I hope your baby is doing great. I know its a hard decision for us parents to make sometimes when we have to give permission for our children to have surgery or not. Good luck to you and God bless.

Well done. I know it took a lot for you to do that for her, but you know it was the right thing to do... the older she gets the more she would feel it, and you would too. Your a good mother who didnt want to put your daughter through any pain...:-)

sissygirl more power to you. it hasto be done, and she will thank you in later yearsshe will be able to talk and be normal. thats wonderful for her and for you too. i think we all have had to make decisions similar to that.i fell two years ago and literally ' crushed my shoulder bones so I had to have surgerya and the smashed bones replaced with plastic and steel parts. it was necessary so I could use my left arm again.
