Kelan's incomplete UCL was not half as bad as we thought it would be. He's able to make suction, and he's doing great. He'll have surgery at three months to close the lip and fix his little button nose. He's honestly the best thing tha's ever happened to me. He's made me a Dad. Mom is sore but recovering well. She's sooooo strong, and she's the best wife a man could ask for. So thank you Melissa and Kelan for making me the proudest man alive.

It has been 12 weeks since her surgery and she looks amazing! She has met with the surgeon and cleft lip/palate team and she does not need to be seen again until she is 3 years old!
