Getting Better

The palate surgery back in August, being more invasive, gave us the impression it would be harder to deal with. Well, nose and lip revision was much more difficult for Alexis.
The reason for the surgery was to thin out the space between the nose and the lip. There was too much scar tissue. The stitches are dissolving and the two stitches on top of her nose will be gone pretty soon. Those stitches are holding cartilage inside of her nose.
The first CL surgery in China was well done but with old technology so you could see the scars left from the stitches and the surgeon also fixed that. We feel very comfortable with Alexis' surgeon and know that she will get just what she needs.
The hearing test was perfect so no hearing issues. For now just ST is the only therapy she will need. We feel blessed that she had an organization who sponsored her and a good doctor in China who performed the first surgery at six months. Fortunately, we have the names of the sponsor and the name of the doctor. We are fortunate to have this information and to know that she was taken care of.
