Its been a long time...
Its been too long, Nathan has had two surgeries leading up to the most important surgery in July. He had the latham device (a surgical placed retainer designed to bring the parts of the mouth closer together for complete palate and lip repair) placed in his mouth in February, which was a huge success. Nathan didn't do as well as expected with the recovery time as we had to spend a few extra days at the hospital. Nathan had his last surgery in April to take out the latham device and bring the gums together. That surgery went a lot smoother than the first one and he was out of the hospital a lot faster.
up Next...
Nathan is going in for his palate and lip reconstruction on July 19th. This is the longest and most difficult surgery to date. He will most likely be under for as long as 8 hours, and this is the most painful. Expected hospital recovery time can be up to a week. Were praying that things go as smoothly as the last 2 surgeries. I promise that i will continue to update you on the status of Nathan and make this blog more regular
God bless
Jonathan
