Sarah had her first appointment with a cleft surgeon today. We're going to use Dr. Teichgraeber of the UT Texas Cleft & Cranifacial Team (www.txcleft.com ) Our visit was brief, but I do like him and I have heard good things about him. We have an appointment with the ENT on the team on Monday to determine if Sarah needs ear tubes. If she does, we will have her palate closed and her tubes inserted at the same time. Hopefully next week we will be able to schedule her surgery.
She does amazingly well despite her open palate, but to help in her speech development, it needs to be closed. Eating and drinking have not been a problem for Sarah.
