Day 5- 14 surgeries so far and many hours of speech therapy!

 Janelle! Palate repaired last year- will be seeing us for speech therapy!  She was very shy and crying until she realized it was a "regular" doctor's office! The pile of toys, books and stickers brought her around in a hurry!  We are looking forward to how far we can take her with her speech-in a very short amount of time!
UPDATE (3/22/13-FINALLY POSTING!)
JANELLE is doing very well! She has attended 4 sessions in 2 days...last session tomorrow! Her mom participated in each session and will work with her at home...they traveled a LONG distance and stayed with her mom's sister!  Big effort for a family and we're so glad they made it work!!

Linda- screeing day! Handing out books for every child (and their siblings if present!)  They usually went from a look of fear in seeing us to smiling, high fives and even talking to us!!

 

 

This is litte Alice Claire! She had her palate repaired in 2011 and came back last year in July and October but was not well enough to have surgery...she is scheduled for her palate repair next week- say a prayer that she is healthy enough to get her surgery! 

Three new smiles on the way!  Girl on left is 12 year old "Joyaide" who  had her surgery today...we hope to have after pictures in the morning!  So, so friendly and smiley- but I am thankful a new SMILE is in store for her!

The middle girl had her repair and I have not downloaded her after pictures yet- will try and post on next go around!  Wifi is limited to late evening- and..... staying up late to post, well, sleep wins out!
