I was born in Zagreb, Croatia, with cleft lip and palate and have had 5 surgeries so far. In January 2003 I will have to undergo a bone graft surgery in Germany. I would enjoy hearing from anyone who can explain to me what it is like and how it looks, from a patient's point of view. I have a twin brother Augustin and we enjoy swimming training six times a week.

Isabella is my first grandchild. She was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate. In this picture she's four months old. It took awhile, but she now eats well with the Haberman and has gotten chubby! No surgeries yet. She's now 6 months old and a JOY!!! She has the biggest smile and laugh! Mom and Dad have applied to Shriners for a cleft team. We're new to cleftAdvocate; thanks for the warm welcome and for sharing of yourselves!

In addition to being born with a cleft (which we learned about at a 19-wk. ultrasound), Ivy arrived on time but teeny-tiny (4.5 lbs), so she had a rocky start. Fortunately, she also came equipped with a huge personality, strong will, joyful disposition, and loads of charisma. She weathered her first two surgeries (lip repair at three months and palate repair at seven months) like a trooper (with a large dash of drama queen).

Iris had her lip repair on February 5, 2004 and palate repair on September 30, 2004. She will be having surgery again in spring time to close the holes that opened after the palate repair.
