Defying all the odds



Caidy's clefts have really been improving from wearing the tape and I wanted to compare a picture of her at 1 week to her at 6 weeks. It is amazing how much it has shrunk! We really don't notice it because she always wears her tape, but WOW what an amazing difference. Also in the 2nd picture you can notice the gap in her gumline, I am not sure if you can see it in the 1st picture but her gumline is pretty much covering the gap now. Our orthodontist was guessing that due to the size of her cleft her first surgery would most likely be at 5 months, but because she is responding to the tape so well and her cleft has shrunk by so much in such a short time, the surgery will more than likely be in July now. Although nothing is set in stone, it is so encouraging to know that she is really beating the odds in every area!
