I did ask if it could heal on it's own and he said no. But, I'm thinking maybe when she gets teeth and can eat kibble maybe she can do without surgery. It's just going to be one day at a time for awhile yet. And I'm still learning. He did say that he'd never seen one make it this far, so she's got a fairly good shot. I'm not tinking very clear tonight, as I was so relieved to at least know what it is that I went out to dinner. With wine. (that's a first since this began.)  Janet  |
I just wanted to ad that I've delt (and am still dealing with) a soft cleft palate. You can read my story here:

My baby is now 16 weeks old and doing awesome! Eating on her own, weighing in at 2.5 lbs, eating hard food and drinking water. Her cleft is a whole cleft. I'm not planning surgery. She still breathes girgly and water still comes out her nose, but other than that she is doing real well. My thread may help you as when I started the post she was 3 weeks old. It was a long road but we've made it this far. I'd be happy to help with anything, please let me know!!! My thoughts are with you!!!
