Another Call Today

I received another call today -

This one from Dr. Rick Redett, a Pediatric Plastic Surgeon, from John Hopkins. He works in the Cleft Lip & Palate Clinic.

Anyway.....he had been in to see Trinity today to evaluate her. He stated that normally a cleft Palate goes to one side or the other, but in Trinity's case it is in the middle - which is most likely associated with her Holoprosencephaly.

Because of the severity of Trinity's cleft lip - her plastic surgery to fix her lip would be done in two stages about 2-3 months apart, and then at a later time her palate would be done. The 1st surgery could be done in the next couple of months.

Not sure about the surgery. At this mid-stage in my life, I am not such a risk take anymore. I don't know if the risks of surgery are worth the benefits of the surgery. Maybe only fixing the lip is enough and leave the palate like it is. Or Maybe none of it should be done
