Re: Lukas the little trooper
It can be, but we at least knew about the difficulties ahead before he was actually born. I couldn't imagine him being born and then finding out he was cleft.
From the start everyone involved in his care has said first this step, then this step, then this step. It's all been laid out for us with one of the top teams in the nation for this. He's already got an ear nose throat doc looking at him, the surgeon of course, and then an audiologist/speech pathologist will help with hearing and speech, and finally a orthodontist to round out the extensive dental work he'll need.
We haven't met everyone in the team yet, but so far we've had nothing but good experiences.

Oh he's such a cute baby! I'm so glad he's been such a trooper threw all of this. My best friend Hannah is apart of Operation Smile and lived/worked in India for a year and helped children there get surgeries to fix their clefts. Definitely keep us updated on his progress! I love seeing them progress through this, it's amazing to see :)

Your son is just beautiful! Children are such a blessing and I am so glad that your baby boy is doing so well.
Re: Lukas the little trooper
I love him. He's such a sweetheart. My thoughts are with you guys through this. He's going to bounce right back from surgery, you just watch! :)
