Bright and early tomorrow morning (or actually dark and early, since the sun will not be up), Sawyer and I will be headed to the outpatient surgery center for his ENT surgery.
He's currently still dancing around in his room, which means he's probably not going to be awake at 4 in the morning for the first time in weeks. He's going to want to sleep in tomorrow, of course, instead of leaving the house at 6 for 6:30 check-in.
Wish us luck. It's a relatively simple procedure that will only take a few minutes. It will, however, require him not to eat or drink anything in the morning (which is not going to make him happy either). It also will require general anesthesia.
Recovery is only a day or so. Hopefully he will heal quickly. And hopefully it will help with speech production in the long-term.
