I've never visited this board before. I guess Ive just never
had a reason to, until today. My best friend is due in a couple
of months. She just found out yesterday that her baby will be
born with a cleft lip and palate. I do not know what to do for
her. This is her first child.I know that in time it will be
mostly corrected, but what about until then? How will I be able
to help comfort her? What do I say? You know-I have a 4 year old
that was born 2 months early and had a high risk of some kinds of
birth defects but, he is fine. Sometimes we take alot for
granted!!!!I guess my question here is, what can I do to help
her? I honestly dont even know what to say. Thank you.
