I know, I know "Get a blog" but just allow me to shove pictures in your faces for a moment. If any mod thinks its not worthy of its own thread they may merge it with what ever thread they feel best suits the topic.

Anyways, I think most of you have seen picture of my baby boy by now and know he has a cleft lip and palate. You may also have known that he was going to be getting surgery to get it fixed.

Well, on September 18th that happened! He now has a complete lip!

Here a pic from 20 minutes before the surgery.

And her he is afterwards!

And as of today so you can all see how great it's healing.

I just thought some of you may like to see the difference.

Awww, how sweet! I'm so happy it worked out well.

 

[Espy]

Awwwww! What cute little guy!

 

[Rob King]

That's awesome! It's incredible the advances we've made, that that's even possible!

 

[Hailey Knight]

Hurray! I'm happy for you guys .

 

[CynicismKills]

Very cool, hooray for the little guy.

 

[Wasabi Poptart]

I saw your posts on FB and wasn't sure if this was what you were talking about. He looks great! Glad he is healing up so well. Did they fix his palate, too, or will he need more surgery?

Baby cthulu is now baby AWWWWWWW!

Though, he was that before, too.

Thanks everyone!

The palate will be fixed at one year...just when he's old enough to TELL me how unhappy he is.

That's awesome! I'm glad he's doing well, looks like you had a good surgeon.

Good luck with the remainder of the surgeries!

He looks good, all things considering. Is he going to have a noticeable scar from this when he grows older?

 

[HowDroll]

Baby posts are always worthy of their own thread. What a sweetheart he is I can't believe how big he's getting already.

 

[DarkAudit]

That last pic is all "oh yeah, I'm bad!"

 

[Hylian]

so cute

 

[JCM]

Congrats!!

I have two students who had the same surgery done, it heals pretty well, and later on looks more like some sporting scar, and at the twenty, almost fades.

This. I don't think anyone ever needs to worry about giving us too much info about their children.

Aw, he looks great, in all pictures. So glad he's healing up well. That kid really has amazing eyes, so expressive.

 

[Gusto]

JET!

 

[drawn_inward]

Looks like a happy baby!

Cheers!

 

[Cajungal]

Beautiful, as always. Glad the procedure went well.

 

[North_Ranger]

Watch out for this 'un when he grows up... Those eyes could melt titanium. Oh, and the last picture? To my eyes it almost look like he's showing off his scar. "Yeah, I got into a bitching fight the other day... Had this then. You should've seen the other baby. I really f***ed him up."

Also, can I still refer to him as Baby Cthulhu or Predator Jr? I never got an answer to that.

 

[strawman]

I just realized he was wearing stiff sleeves to keep him from touching his face! Poor little guy, it's like wearing a cone for a dog.

"Why... can't... I ...bend... my .... arms...!"

flail flail flail

[ZenMonkey]

Heh, I didn't even notice that. (I'm telling you, his eyes mesmerize me!) The Sleeves of Shame!

 

[Silver Jelly]

He looks great! (and the wound does too, as far as my VERY limited knowledge on surgery allows me to say)

I tell you, with those eyes and a cool scar, he'll have all the girls he wants!

 

[Tinwhistler]

awesome! Glad to see the surgery went well!

 

[Jake]

Looks great. A friend of mine has one of those scars, but it mostly looks like he was in a bitchin dirtbike wreck or something.

 

[Covar]

Excellent, I'm glad the surgery went well for him/you.

 

[Shegokigo]

You all are fools! Now the C'thulian child will integrate himself into society with no visible notation for someone to be able to have warning before it's too late! The end comes THE END, COMES! :sevil:

 

[LittleSin]

Wow. Thanks again everyone!

Everyone keeps telling me he has amazing eyes and such long eyelashes...even complete strangers. If I have him dressed in any kind of gender neutral clothing they think he's a girl, actually.

He hated having his arm forced out straight for the week after surgery. He loved sucking on his hands and sleeps with his arms thrown upabove his head so he wasn't content at all.

North Ranger: You may call him whatever you wish. Steve calls him his 'Predalien'.

 

[LittleSin]

Just one more.

For some reason I would have no trouble seeing that on a jumbotron in the United Nations, with Jet demanding ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!! or he'll release his DoomsDay Device (patent pending).

Heh. That scenario fits perfectly with having the world in hands.
