As many of you know...Ricky was born tongue tied. We have been discussing with him that it would be very beneficial to him to get it clipped. He has been very scared and anxious about this. After much advice regarding whether or not to do this procedure, everyone from his pediatrician to his teacher to his speech therapists have said this would be extremely helpful to his speech impediment.
Friday we had an appointment with the specialist to discuss the procedure. He looked at Ricky and said, lets do it today! So, right there, that moment, and in a matter of minutes...Ricky got his tongue clipped. He was very brave!
We celebrated with ice cream for lunch and a special dinner out. The specialist said that he will have to re-learn how to speak and do exercises to get muscles in his tongue. He is very proud because he too is just like his friend Miles.
