Day 15, 01/15/2009, A Fabulous Duo



Today Xiao Min had an appointment with her plastic surgeon, Dr. John Grant. Xiao Min was born with a cleft lip and gumline. Dr. Grant closed her lip when she was 2 years old and he did a fabulouse job. Periodically we check in with him to see if anything needs to be done. At this point, Dr. Grant recomended that before we do anything else, we need to met with the oral surgeon that will close the split in her gumline. We have an appointment in a couple of weeks with that doctor. They will do a bone graft to close the split. That will be the hardest surgery she will endure. I am hoping we can do that surgery during the summer, but we will see.
