mom of 19yr.old born w/cleft palateand lip

Robin Nuttall - 05:30pm Dec 19, 2008 EST

I just want parents to know that there is light at the end of raising a child with a birth defect. Doctors always give the worst case scenario, I don't think that they do this to scare you its just what they know. My son has made it through so many surgeries and allergic reaction to pain meds.,then a day before his16th. b-day he had his left lung collapse during math class at school,the doctors never could find the cause of this. Then his junior year of high school he had a blood clot in his upper right arm, this was finnaly diagnosed as hyperhomosystenemia, during all of these trials my son never complained and always had a smile on his face. He always amazes me and puts a smile on my face.

I needed that....

My son Zachariah is only 1 month and is having surgery in the morning to put pins in his jaw to grow the bone. he has Pierre Robin or Tracher Collins. Thank you for posting your comments. So that we know there is light at the end of the tunnel. As a family we know that God has healed him and will bring him through his surgery.

    I hope that Zachariah's surgery went well today. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
