7 years old. Updates and Next Steps.

The last few years have gone by in a blink! Wyatt is 7 now. He is a funny, observant, intuitive and charming little boy. He is, quite literally, my sunshine.

The past few years have been really quiet with regard to anything cleft related. There were a few more visits to Cleft Clinic. Here you can see how much he has grown over the past 5 years!

Wyatt did have his tonsils and adenoids taken out in two separate surgeries (trying to save as much as we could to preserve his speech), his hearing has been closely monitored, and he is still receiving speech therapy.

Wyatt is coming up to an age where there is more work to be done. At his last visit to cleft clinic it was recommended he have a nasal revision to make his nose a little more symmetrical. We were looking to schedule that this spring but Coronavirus hit and everything was put on hold.

Losing baby teeth and more permanent teeth coming in also means it's time for some dental work. Everything has been changing so fast I reached out to our cleft team just to make sure we are on top of it. It will be interesting to see what recommendations they have for this next year.

I hope to post more updates as things pick up again. For now... be well, take care and stay safe.
