I was born with this condition, somewhat more severe. I nearly died before they figured out how to feed me, the Breck Feeder. Before the age of two I had three operations. I had another in high school and another in college. I speak with a lateral lisp and conceal a large scar under my facial hair.

What we have done for this child is a good thing.
