I've been working on getting this website started, waiting for that moment when I'll be "ready". Well, no time like the present. For the moment, I'm focusing this blog on my "Facial Reconstruction Project" (perhaps I'll come up with a better title), and with surgery imminent in two days, I need to get this going.
I'm starting with a few posts I've been working on for some time, which will lay out the background of my circumstances, including a partial cleft palate at birth, surgeries, speech therapy, orthodontia -- and a long and interesting career as a singer, teacher of singing, and conductor. By finally getting this blog going, and getting those long background posts in place, I'm giving myself permission to make the shorter, (theoretically quick) posts as things strike me through the process. Away we go!

I have worked with several/many babies with cleft lip and palate over my career. Your journey and experiences can give parents and children insight and inspiration. You will be our thoughts and prayers today and as you recover. Take care EffieJo

Your mother gave me the connection to this site. I'm very interested in reading your journey with your surgery. I'm so glad you have made the progress you have. Having been thru a major medical experience over 40 years ago, I have an idea what you are experiencing. I've followed your success thru your mother, and am glad I've known you since you were a great kid at the Clallam Bay Library. Good luck....keep writing.
