Well Kanes op is 3 weeks away now... This first op will bring his lip down from up in his nose, and bring his nose over to the middle. Can't say i'm looking forward to it AT ALL!!I love him how he is. Next op at 18 mnths will repair the cleft in his palate. Continual ops from age 5 through to adulthood to make a gum and do LOTS of dental work. He'll have good teeth because most of them will be permanet screw ins!!
To give him a gum, they take bone from his hip and place it in the gum line. I asked the doc to use my hip bone to save bubba having it done and he said noI just may the most neurotic mum he's had!!!
Give everyone a big "wide smile" for Cleft Awareness Week. Even those who don't deserve it. It makes YOU feel good!!!
