Archana: Jefferson Before Interplast

  Jefferson Before Interplast 
  Originally uploaded by interplast.

I want to end with the story of Jefferson, an incredibly cute 6-month old baby with a cleft lip and palate. Here is a photo of him from clinic day last week, dressed in the cutest denim overalls! We noticed that the parents often dressed their children in what may be their best outfits because the visit to the hospital is such an important day in their children’s lives. Everyone on the team found this little guy so adorable; we all pulled out their cameras to take pictures of him.

The child is adorable!
Hope he can find the help that he deserves and have an opportunity to live this life in a more normal way.

Thanks for sharing this.
