Kerri - I live in Missouri! Howdy neighbor from up north!
My son was born in November with a unilateral cleft lip and palate. We found out during our 22 week u/s that he would be born with one. He is getting his treatment from Cardinal Glennon hospital in St. Louis. Feel free to email me at any time and we can compare notes/surgery. I can also email you a picture of my son. Mason's first surgery will be March 9 for his lip adhesion and then his second surgery for his gum, nose and finishing up his lip will be August 7. His palate will be repaired later this year!!
I just requested a copy of the video that you recommended! I can't wait to see it! I am getting it mostly to share with other people who do not know a lot about Mason's cleft lip and palate. It isn't very common around central Missouri to see a child with a cleft.
