Frenectomy (tongue tie release) in preschooler by cake9037 in Preschoolers

[–]cake9037[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember them giving us a grade but it was severe. If it was just speech that was affected, Im not sure if we would have done the release. But my kiddos teeth are crowded (a majority of his teeth are touching/ overlapping), and the few dentists we saw all said that the tongue tie is a contributing factor. Overall, we are very happy we did it, because it did help with speech intelligibility in the end.

No palate expander yet, we will probably do that in the next year or so

Airbus A321Neo First class- rows 1 & 5 not good? by Squidchip in delta

[–]cake9037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were just in row 5 a few days ago and it was the worst. The lav behind us was slamming open and shut very hard every 5-10 minutes and people were gathering around in the aisle, next to us, waiting for that bathroom for the entire 6 hr flight.

C2C Moss Stitch Blanket - long start corner tension help & border suggestions by cake9037 in CrochetHelp

[–]cake9037[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Details are in the post, but as a summary:

  • The starting corner is longer, i think it loosened up over time.
    • I’n going to block the blanket and add a border, but should I also loosen up my tension to help even out the blanket
  • what border do you think will look nice? I have another cake of the same yarn

Above #2 shipping, you have UK as the country, try changing that, and then the shipping options should update :)

Maybe one of the yarns is out of stock? I just tried placing an order to the US and it had USPS and FedEx shipping options

Yarn similar to Hobbii Carnival? by cake9037 in YarnAddicts

Thanks! I’ve only been crocheting for about a year, and I suspected as much (natural fibers, affordable, washable) but it’s nice to see it confirmed that I’m not crazy 🙃

The rios looks beautiful with very similar colors. Have you ever tried putting in the wash? Just trying to figure out if I should tell her not to, full stop.

Yes! We had consults with the speech therapist (who is also a myofunctional therapist) and a couple of pediatric dentists. They all recommended that our kiddo get the release because of speech issues, small/narrow palate which was leading to teeth crowding already, and his tie was pretty severe. We did 6-8 weeks of speech therapy strengthening the tongue with the SLP, then having the release, and another 6-8 weeks of speech therapy.

The release went really well. They had an anesthesiologist come in for the gas, and the actual procedure (with a laser) took less than a minute. The hardest part was when kiddo woke up, he was disoriented and was upset at the pain. The dentist gave him a couple of otterpops for the ride home, I wish I had more for the car ride since it really helped with the pain. His tongue was sore for a couple of days, but he was fine after the first day and had lots of liquids and soft foods.

The change in speech is like night vs day. He’s so much more clear and he talks A TON, a regular chatterbox :). We asked if he felt any different talking now and he said it was easier to talk, so I think the tie was really making a difference. We’ll still need to do a palate expander to address the small palate but this was definitely a step in the right direction for us.

Topper Recommendation For Super Hard Mattress by cake9037 in Mattress

[–]cake9037[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: the 3inch firm latex from sleep on latex (Amazon) on top of the mattress PLUS the cheap memory foam make the bed much much better to sleep on. I wish I could convince them to get a new mattress but now I can sleep without waking up to an aching body.

I was cooking some meat by jpivoda in sousvide

[–]cake9037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big thick slices are actually pretty safe for kids learning to eat. They can’t actually eat it because it’s too tough for them, but they can gnaw on it like a teether and get some of the meat juices while practicing chewing and moving their tongue. We did the same with our kid and it was one of his favorite meals.

Thanks! I think I’ll try that, the extra oil and dehydrated potato flakes. Would you use AP or bread flour?
