One week post-op

It's been one week since Carson's surgery and he is doing very well. We went to his post-op appointment yesterday and he got a good report. She said that he is very unique because she has never seen a case like his. His upper jaw bone has a small indention in the bone. In most clefts, the bone does not meet. She thinks that a cleft started to form, but then it ended up fusing together. When this happened his upper lip and nose were the only areas that were affected. He does have a small scar that makes her believe that it corrected itself. As he grows, we will just keep an eye on his lip and nose and hopefully he will not need any more surgeries to correct it.

I really believe that all the prayers everyone said for him, paid off. God blessed us with a healthy baby boy and corrected any anomalies he was going to have. God is so good and definitely heard all of our prayers!


Our sweet children....can't believe they are both smiling for the picture!

Just a scab inside his nose,but looking good!

Loves his toys and play mat

So glad to see that he's doing well...I'm just curious, do the Doctors think that the echogenic bladder they saw on the ultrasound is related to the partial cleft? (it's the curious nurse in me...)
