Here is a recap of day 4. Gillette Children's hospital was a great experience. The hospital is huge, but they do a great job of treating all patients. Quite frankly, after going there, we feel very blessed about our situation.
We met with a number of doctors and a nurse practitioner. Ultimately, they were all fantastic, and we left with the knowledge that our child will have surgery to reconstruct his upper lip around 3 months of age, a retainer, and a sense of relief that we have the best care possible.
Today, we met with our pediatrician, and David looks like he is doing very well. Below is a picture of the gear we use for the retainer and lip repair and a picture of David with the retainer and lip treatment. David is doing great, and we can't wait to hear from everyone.
PS - we will try post fingers and toes pictures tomorrow.

Hi Guys,
Thanks fo rthe update! The new-baby no-sleep haze is temporary, so hang in there!
I would be calling now and then, but something took out our phone line. NONE of my 8 phones are working, and my cell phone minutes just expired. So, karma seems to want me to let you be for a while. :)
Enjoy the snuggling
Sarah
