Ok, I finally got me a computer, so I will be back online now.
Aaron Michael is now a little over a month now. As most of you know, he was born with cleft lip and palate. You can see his picture here,

he was sick a while, but he is doing so much better, after we took him to a pediatrician that knew exactly what was wrong with him and not tell us it was nothing. So we went to Lexington to the cleft lip clinic once already, and met with a team of doctors, here is what they told us so far, he will have his first surgery at the age of 3 months to repair his lip and nose, and his second surgery at the age of 9 months to repair the palate, and if those goes well, then that the only surgerys they will have to do on those, and then they will put his gum in at the age of 5 years old. and he will get braces at the age of 10 years old. We go to the Plastic Surgeons main office Monday Morning and we will get the schedules for the surgerys and see pictures and know exactly what will take place, and what to expect. I am still scared though and hate to see him have to go through all of this, but I know it has to be done, but I cried when my daughter got her shots, atleast they can fix this and we wont have to go through it alone. well thank you for reading this, and sorry it was so long...I thank everyone for their support and really I am glad to be a part of BBS.
