Tongue Tied

Reed will have surgery in the morning to release his tongue tie.  We have been talking about it often today, and he seems to understand.  I snapped a picture of him sticking his tongue out, so we can compare it to after the surgery.  We have done this exercise so many times hoping it would stretch or tear.  I have noticed improvement but not enough. This is as far as he can stick out his tongue, and notice the middle indention.  It almost creates a upside down heart where the lingual frenulum is connected.  We are hoping that everything goes well, and the corrective surgery will be beneficial for speech.
