One difficult part of this situation is God has given us a child with a cleft and then we "change" him. It is very common for parents of cleft babies to feel this way. Imagine worrying about something every second for 7 months and then finding out what a blessing you've been delivered. Crazy how things go! Don't worry, we ARE going to have the cleft repaired but I just wanted to give a little insight into what we are feeling.
I'd once again refer everyone to the video on the right ------------------------------------------->
The boy that is on the show has exactly what Nash has.
We've been asked by many, "What is the plan?"; so I've attach a few informative sheets that outline what each cleft is and a typical timeline of the surgeries: (sorry about the size, they are as big as I can make them)
Refer to the timeline above for the "gameplan". Nash falls into the right column. His first surgery is scheduled for March 19. This will be a out-patient procedure that only takes about 15 minutes. Dr. Morales told us there may, once again, be a bit of a learning curve when feeding due to the fact that he will have the palatal prosthesis.
That is the news for now. We are still working on getting some more photos to post. Stay Tuned!

Hey you guys, I love love love the pictures of Rees with Colby Nash. So cute! I'm glad things are going well so far. We'll be praying for this first surgery to go well too!
Oh he is so cute. It makes me miss my Zan's cleft smile. Take a ton of pictures. You will miss it so much and it will change his little face.
