Hi A.,
My son is 9 almost 10 and was born with cleft lip and palette they said it was a pretty severe case. He had a very good surgeon and had his first surgery at 6 months then 1 year. He only had things like tubes in his ears and minor ear infections and the help of a speech therapist to help him in school. At the age of 8 he had his palette stretched for only 6 months which was like a retainer and then he had a bone graft recently on March 17th 2006 where they take a chip of bone from the hip and place it in the gum line. He was up and walking in no time and back at baseball. He is currently wearing a retainer and seeing a speech therapist and a crainofacial team.
Hello A.!!
I am a parent to a 5 month old little boy with cleft lip and palate! And we see dr. holmes too. He is such a great person. we really like him. Shane is having his palate surgery in April... We were not aware of his condition until he was born... sometimes I feel overwhelmed...How is your daughter doing???
