Natasha is due to go into hospital, (in London with Heather), for two to three days on the 17th September 2007. She will have her lip cleft closed under general anaesthetic. Feeding may prove difficult immediately following the operation. We are not looking forward to this but it'll be nice to get it over and done with. After the stitches have gone the scar is likely to tighten the skin and cause a raised kink in her lip until the skin relaxes again. We don't yet have a date for the palate closing operation due when Tasha is between six and nine months old.
Natasha, Mummy and Daddy are all well, if a little frazzled at times. Natasha is feeding well from a squeezy bottle with an orthodontic teat. We are happy to receive visitors but would prefer to be contacted first.
Here she is at 10 days old
