Surgery 6000 miles away

Finally....after two years of trying..."baby" K had her first cleft surgery by the German craniofacial team that travels to Bishkek.  We are so incredibly grateful to all of the people involved in making this happen.  I am absolutely blown away by the results.  She is exactly one week post-op and the surgery looks to be a huge success.  She was beautiful before, and she's beautiful now!  There's lots of healing to take place so as long as there are no complications, the repair will continue to look better and better.  I only wish she could be recovering at home with her family.
