Surgery Postponed (Willow has Pneumonia!)

Bubelah is bouncing back quickly from her temporary lapse from pneumonia (which postponed her first surgery). Surgery is rescheduled for March 2nd (placement of a pin-retained device in the roof of her mouth whose purpose is to pull her pre-maxilla into place). Surgery to sew her lip is scheduled for March 23rd.

Trying out a new food item (in preparation for post-surgery). She licked it (but never did take a bite). Nevertheless it was fun!

Cutest tootsies in the world (not webbed toes like her frog-mother)

Happiness is Yobaby yogurt.

Modeling Auntie Kristin's sweater.



Thank you for the suggestion of a "pop-up" toy, Auntie Lara.

Meryl and Chris and Willow. Felicity has kept me apprised of your family and location through the years. Congratulations on Willow. My younger brother had clef lip and palate. He had great treatment through time and there is no detectable scar or impediment. I'd be glad to share his info if you needed, although he was born in 1955. Again my best to all.
