Terrific News!

Most of you know that Mallory was diagnosed with velopharyngeal insufficiency which affects her speech. We received that news when we made the trip to NIH for the Smith-Magenis research study 3 years ago. We made contact with a surgeon at Children's Mercy Hospital and started taking the steps towards surgery. It has been a long, sometimes frustrating, process. Today, I received the call from the surgery clinic and Mallory is scheduled for surgery on April 28th. Who would've thought that today (Friday the 13th) would be such a lucky day for our household!
