A week on from his cleft operation and I now understand that the doctors not only fixed his lip, but also his hard palate and implanted a bone piece to use as a fixation point for later on.
Given that so much was done, my admiration for this 3 month old little boy just grows daily.
He has healed so fast and given the amount of work done and the pain he went through, he is as bubbly as usual. His mum is also doing a wonderful job looking after him.
So anyone with a baby with a cleft palate take heart, as these things are fixable and in the right hands your baby will thrive.
I also understand that "my baby" had a severe cleft and the parents were only informed by the doctor after his surgery, as the doctor did not want to alarm them as to the task ahead of him.
But all is going well and he looks wonderful and is feeding normally again. He has dropped a pain killer and is only on antibiotics and paracetamol now.
What a little star!
