Finally we are caught up for now. On June 25th , we traveled to Boston to Shriner's hospital for Cecelia to have the first of her palate operations...this one was to close her hard palate...once the Dr began the operation he realized that during Cecelia's lip closure surgery in China the surgeon there had broken the front part of her maxillary bone(upper jaw) in order to close her lip more easily...that was not too big of an issue unto itself, but the break was never set properly...so this new surgery was more complicated than originally thought...in the end it was successful! She is healing well. The first week was no picnic...but little by little it is better. Last night Cecelia slept through the night for the first time since the surgery!
The first picture is pretty graphic...but it was soon better! Shriner's is an incredible place for children! We are very pleased!
Her next surgery is scheduled for November. That one will close her soft palate.

The Cutest Ladybug in the World
Cecelia is going to be a ladybug for Halloween and she just loves her costume. She will wear it on every occasion she can. This was one day in our little homeschool. I love this picture so much. And of course I love the little ladybug in it the most!

Sweet baby girl. So glad to hear that Cecelia got to sleep through the night last night. I am sure that both of you needed a good night's rest. I am so glad that Shriner's was such an amazing place and so happy that Cecelia is halfway finished.
Hugs,
Jonni
