Cleft lip
![Post Post](./styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
My son was born with a cleft lip this year. I gave birth to
him during a weekend and the cleft lip team at the hospital where
I gave birth were not avalible. My husband and I felt swept under
the rug and were told to contact someone on monday after we were
discharged. I was histerical and demanded I see someone before
discharge. We were seen by a very nice NICU pediatrician and
follow up appointments were made for 3 weeks later for the
plastic surgeon. My son had surgery at 10 1/2 weeks old and it
was a long hard recovery period. Our son looks even more
beautiful than he looked before but the doctor says he will
probably have to have surgery on a submucus cleft someday. I need
more info on submucus cleft. I cant see any deviation in my sons
palate so what it is ????? I am very glad I can Finally Meet
someone with the same experience as me. It was an unexpected
experience and I only wish during ultrasound test this would have
been noticed so I could have been better prepared.
