To all who have been asking, J is fine, it's just a cold and he's almost over it already, thank you. It was just the cruel irony of the situation that was noteworthy.
You know when you fall asleep on your arm and wake up with just no sense of it being there or any control of it or feeling... that's how it was described to us that he felt about his mouth. We were told that once the wires were connected he'd be able to talk, and would then need a couple of years help learning how and catching up on the three years language acquisition he's missed. The amazing thing is once the wires were connected he just started talking perfectly. He's been listening and learning all along. It's not the same as late talking, which resolves itself eventually, this needed intervention. It's related to autism, although rarer and not as disruptive. But even his SALT has been blown away by how effective it's been.
Oh, and overnight, L has her first two teeth.
