Tyson before lip repair

I figured out how to get this into a jpeg and thought some people might like to see it. China did an amazing job on Tyson's lip repair. This picture was taken 4-10-08, and his surgery was 4-21-08. This was a picture I received in my recent HTS report.

The paperwork stated that Tyson has a left unilateral complete cleft lip and palate. However, there is a red mark on the right that is another microform cleft that we didn't know about until we got him home. But if you are waiting for a child with a complete unilateral cleft lip and palate, here's what it may have looked like before repair. Our doctor here is very happy with the repair that Ty had in China.

    Isn't it amazing what they can do? Bella's was bilateral and I am amazed what the doctors in China were able to do. I look at her now and don't even see anything. Not sure what others see when they first see her. Isn't that funny? A mommy's love I guess. Tyson is adorable ... I think it is so cute that he loves "Ella". Have a great weekend!
