surgery

My poor little girl. We went to cleft clinic in May. While we were there, the oral surgeon grew concerned with a bump on her cleft/gumline where the repair had been done. So yesterday, I took her to the Oral Surgeon for an xray. She has an abcessed tooth that is IN her closed cleft! Ouch!

So that means she will go in for outpatient surgery, at the beginning of July. If her soft tissues get infected prior to that, she will need to return back to the Oral Surgeon. He said he has rarely seen it happen. This will make her third surgery they want to do on her this summer-fall!
