Mood:  caffeinated

So far our experience here at Children's hospital in Boston has been oustanding.  The staff is wonderful and have gone out of their way to make Cassidy happy and comfortable.  Craig was able to be with her while they put her under.  She was without fear and doing great.  I know that your prayers are working for all of us.  She has been in procedure for about 2 hours.  We can't be given an accurate estimate of time because it all is based upon how difficult it is to access the necessary areas to treat. 

We met with a plastic surgeon yesterday.  The process as planned is what we expected:  treat with sclero and once the lip becomes harder (from scar tissue) then surgery.  This will alow the surgeon to remove and contour her lip better. 

 The confidence and expertise  that we are experiencing here with Cassidy's malformation is so reassuring!
