Because I know my mother is wondering...

...and I might get home too late to call.

David's plastic surgery appointment went very well this morning, and he doens't need to go back for a year. His surgeon was obviously impressed with his belly and said that it didn't look like we had any trouble getting him to eat. Based on the sounds and words he is currently making, all indications are that his palate functions well. As he talks more and more, we still need to listen for nasal speech or funny sounds because the palate, like any muscle, can fatigue. As teeth come in around his cleft, he'll need to be followed by a pediatric dentist because he'll be at higher risk for cavities near or above the gum line. Other than that, no worries.
