Hi Green - Just wanted to see if you still have this sib group. How did his surgery go?

My 5 mo old fs with the bilateral cleft is now 14 months old. He had his first palate repair done earlier this year. Just today I found that he has a wooden match head size hole in his new palate, right along the front to back suture line. I will be calling the surgeon tomorrow.

He is now just over 20 pounds. Lots of feeding with high calorie formula using a special bottle that he does not have to suck from. He is still on the bottle because, unfortunately, he is unable to get anything out of a sippy cup. His therapist is bringing an open cup (has a low side that goes up and a high side that goes down so you can see if he is getting anything).
