It will be done at Children's hospital in Seattle. I am nervous. Not so much for her going under anesthia or even the short lived pain I know she will be going through. I guess I am selfish but I am nervous to see her after her surgery. I was blessed with such a beautiful baby and I know she will be the same but I will miss her cleft and her wide smile and just the way she looked when I gave birth to her, you know? I am tearing up just thinking about it.
Maria,
Well while you are having your pre op appointment we will be in surgery, Zach's is Jan. 8th, I won't know til this Friday exactly what time it will be, because they schedule surgeries on the Friday before, but he will be one of the firsts because he is so young. And dariln' you are by no means selfish, because let me tell you if you are then I am right there along with you!!! I will miss his notch SOOOO SOOO SOOO much!!! I love him JUST the way he is and now these people are gonna MESS with him, he is perfect right now!!! My mother (all in jest of course) has threatened to kidnap him and keep him away from the surgeons!! I have been really good up until this past weekend, now I'm on pins and needles I'll be a wreck by the time Monday gets here!!
All I can say is take pictures like crazy this last few weeks, Zach will be soo tired of the flash by the end of the week, shoot he's already tired of it, I KNOW I have several hundred pics of him already LOL.
Yes his palate is affected as well, that will be done in June/July.
