Maggie Turns 2!

 We celebrated Maggie's birthday at Rainforest Cafe.  She was a little apprehensive but overall had a good time!  


She wanted to be held each time a "rain shower" happened.  But it didn't take too long for her to ask to go see the elephants and gorillas when they started "talking"

We had a double celebration since her birthday is the day after mine.


Maggie got the hang of opening presents quickly!

She loved looking at the Elmo cake, but doesn't like cake!

However, she loves her brothers and sisters!

Taking your socks off is hard work

Good News!

We have returned from our 4 week follow up with our surgeon and have received the good news that Maggie's palate has healed very well.  There are no fistulas!  Praise God!  Thanks to everyone for praying!  There are other surgeries that cleft kids sometimes have: jaw surgery, surgery to help with speech, a nose revision, but for now all of these are maybes for Maggie.  We are done with surgery for at least the next 2 years.  She will continue therapy and growing and we will see the cleft team every 6 months.  We know she will need a bone graft surgery but that will be when she is 8 or 9 years old.

Here are a couple belated photos from Easter
