Ranula Surgery

We made our second trip to Ohio this past week for a second round of injections on Annie's sublingual glands where she had developed a ranula.  Fortunately, since the submandibulars didn't need to be injected, they were able to inject both sublinguals at the same time--keeping the swelling in the front of her jaw and away from her throat.  Annie tolerated it all well and even got discharged just 10 hours after the procedure!  We stayed at the Ronald McDonald House again, and continue to be impressed with all the good they do and the kindness and generosity we received.

A week before surgery

Just after surgery--her tongue became pressed to the roof of her mouth with the swelling of the glands.

She looked great after surgery!

Healing--1 day after surgery.

One day post-op.  Happily watching TV in our RMH room.

Our poor muffler broke during the drive to Ohio.  Gladly, we got it fixed before the drive home.
