Julian

Julian was born on October 6, 1999 with a complete cleft of the soft palate. The repair was done successfully on August 9, 2000 and it should be his only major cleft related surgery. Julian's pictures are presented to you by his parents, Tom and Jessie.

Look really close -- can you see the cleft?

And here's Tom giving Jess a rest the next day. See how much better he looks the next day? What a difference a day can make!

Two weeks post-op and arm restraint free!! Julian recovered so well and we are so proud of him!
