Day 5 Post Op

It's finally Tuesday!! I have been waiting for this day before we even arrived in St. Louis ten days ago. We were discharged from the hospital this morning around 10:00am, perfect timing to enable us to return the rental car and have lunch at the airport before we board our 2:00pm flight back to Denver. 


Alex has been feeling great. He is already back to putting everything in his mouth as you can see in these photos. Luckily, the fries he kept grabbing off of my dad's plate did not have salt on them - ouch! ... And he will have to wait MANY more years before he is allowed to have his first glass of wine :)


Alex has made huge improvements in his ability to eat solid foods. Drinking out of a bottle is still a challenge, but I know things will start to improve once the swelling in his tongue starts to go down.
