Operation Smile Asuncion, Paraguay!

This mother had just found out her daughter would be able to receive surgery for her cleft palate. She had tears in her eyes and I saw her happiness. Yet, the little girl…was not so happy looking! Love it!
I loved this little boy, he has a unilateral incomplete cleft lip. He was unable to be repaired while we were there because he had bronchiolitis and received nebulizer treatments each day in hopes he'd improve. He'll come back in March for surgery, yet his dad was able to have surgery to repair his cleft lip!
This little guy has a complete unilateral cleft lip. Notice how it extended into the nose, the difference between a complete and incomplete cleft lip.
Oh sweet is he?!?
I loved him! His parents were so sweet!
Charting :)
We told this mom she should be a nurse! She came so prepared and told us "I am a good mom"!
