The very next day after her MRI we had to travel to Gainesville to meet with the entire craniofacial team to be evaluated for cleft surgery. Since James had to work, GG made the looooooong trip with us. We saw a total of somewhere between 10 and 12 people. I lost count after a while. We met with a social worker, clinic director, ENT, dentist, pediatrician, speech therapist, geneticist, plastic surgeon, as well as a couple of others thrown in there too.
Teryn was cleared by everyone as being ready for surgery. Her surgery date is JULY 13. Please remember Teryn in your prayers during this time. The surgeon is expecting only a couple days hospital stay. Please pray for guidance for the surgery team, quick healing for Teryn, safe travels, and calm nerves for Mommy.
Once her surgery is complete we will give everything a couple months to heal then we will do a detailed swallow study and based on those results we will begin more intensive feeding therapy.
Hello Family and Friends. The purpose of Teryn's page is two-fold. First, to keep all of you informed with our progress. Secondly as an outlet for all of the emotions, the great ones and the tough ones. Some entries may have more details than you were looking for...sorry...those are there for me. I believe that you are going to see why every struggle in this experience is worth it as you fall in love with our little girl as we have.
We will definitely keep her in our prayers! Good luck!!!
