At work the other day I heard this story about tongue tie and just have to
pass it on.  One of the maternity care assistants on my ward has four now
grown sons.  She always had massive oversupply and had no trouble
breastfeeding any of them, despite a visible tongue tie in the eldest or
next eldest, not sure which.  He grew up with a lisp and was never able to
learn to say the letter s with sibilance.  Still, it was not considered
enough of a problem for him to be referred for frenotomy later on.  
Within the past year or so he completed seminary and is now an ordained
Lutheran minister.  Not long ago he asked his mother what he'd need to do to
get his tongue tie released now, because he felt his lisp detracts from his
effectiveness in the pulpit.  They had begun looking into referrals, when he
phoned home one day after an amateur soccer match in which the ball hit him
full in the face with quite a lot of force.  He was bleeding from his mouth,
and discovered to his great surprise that his tongue was tied no more.  His
mother almost didn't recognize him on the phone without his lisp, which
vanished forever at that moment :-)
