Cleft Repairs thru Pics

Pictures start with Shelby's open palate. She had her first surgery on her palate in April 2008. We are now approaching her second surgery that will be a p-flap around Thanksgiving this year. Just wanted to show the progressions her palate has made in the past year and a half...



















This last picture is a current picture taken this month. As you can see her uvula that was created for her has split which "appears" to look like a hole now. The flap of skin from the back of the throat will be cut and attached to where this "hole" is now.
