Just got back into the boards after Porters second and FINAL Palate repair and saw the post about Snuggle Wraps. For his Second surgery because he was just over two and a smartie pants, the hospital gave us wraps that had a strap that you put throgh them that ran across his back. He HATED it but my did it work. I am surprised also at all the people who've had to purchase these. We were lucky with both procedures to get them from the hospitals for free. Rachel, I hope that your son's repair wet great yesterday!
Best,
Amy
