Last week, we had a meeting with a member of the surgery team to brief us about Isaac's operation. They've confirmed that it will be taking place on 5th November at RVI Newcastle.
They explained a lot about the operation and that we'll have a short hospital stay. We also met the dentist and orthodontist, as Isaac's teeth may not follow a normal growth pattern due to the gap in his gum.
I'll be staying with Isaac throughout and Alex will be back and forth and seeing to Noah. I have faith in the surgeons, their reputation goes before them. However, I'm a little worried about him going under anaesthetic with him being so small.
He's doing very well and meeting the usual milestones; smiling, holding up his own head and tracking you with his eyes across the room. He's a happy and contented soul and we've all fallen in love with him. It'll be strange after his operation, as we'll have to get used to his 'new' smile. We love his beautiful, big cleft smile and I think we'll miss it when it's gone! I never thought I'd say that when we received our diagnosis at our 20 week scan!
