Sorry to hear that Bob. At least they were old cracks and not new ones. The worst case you'll have is repairing the same repairs again so the guitar will be just like before for you, so that's good.
As stated - you have to rehydrate the guitar first to close the gaps and get it back to "normal" conditions. This will take days.
Before sending it to your repair tech - you can rehydrate it at home.
Three ways to do it:
1: (my preferred way) put the guitar in a oversized clear garbage bag. Put humidifiers/sponges/whatevers in the soundhole and put a hygrometer gauge in the bag. Make sure water can't contact your wood! Watch the hygrometer so you know its getting humid in there and add water if necessary. After ~4+ days you will see the gap shrunk. Keep it there until fully closed. Try to keep the humidity above 50% during this time.
2: lay flat in a safe place. Put bowl with wet sponge inside soundhole (bowl sitting on back). Seal soundhole with an inflated balloon.
3: put in case or humidified room. This will take longer but be more natural.
Plan on a week before taking to the shop.
