Kyle had his third and hopefully last cleft lip/palate surgery. People with cleft lip and palate tend to have abnormally large ears. Since Kyle really has no cartilage in his nose (it was quite flat), the surgeon removed cartilage from his ears to form his nose. He also pinnned back Kyle's ears. Kyle had the cutest ears--I'm going to miss those things. He has been through quite the ordeal--all these surgeries--but has remained quite the happy camper through it all. I think he's glad he doesn't have to work in the garden or out on the farm. Instead he gets to stay inside for a week playing his DS and watching movies all day. Love this kiddo to death! So grateful for him and what a blessing he is to our family! This one's for you Kyle! You're a stud!
(Kyle day after surgery. He has to wear the bandage/wrap for a week to stabilize and keep his ears in place-poor boy it's so dang hot right now)
