Another Week ~ Another Doctor

I'm so proud of this little peanut! We met her cleft surgeon today, and she wasn't the least bit afraid. This is what we learned:
Since her soft palate is complete, she won't have her bone graft until she's between 7 and 9. At that time there will be some kind of scan to determine if her muscles formed properly and whether she will need further surgery and speech therapy. Next winter we will possibly perform her lip revision since her scar protrudes and scabs over regularly.
Nothing like sharing a kiss in the exam chair!
