On 3/9, Kai underwent surgery to begin repairing his cleft palate. We do not, unfortunately, know if the procedure was conducted by a well known organization such as "SmileTrain" (similar to "Doctors Without Borders") or a local medical team, nor do we know the success of the operation. Sadly, we will get no further updates. We struggle with our inability to care for him during this difficult healing process. Until he is seen by our Cleft Team at Children's Hospital, we won't really understand the quality of his surgical repair and extent of his future surgical needs. We mailed a canister of formula to his orphanage to ensure that he is getting enough calories as he recovers. Keep him in your thoughts. We can't bring him home soon enough.
