Before the grommets she had no trouble with her ears. I honestly don't know right now if we'll be keeping them in. Surely a very mild hearing less is better than this constant pain.
Ellie was born with a severe bilateral cleft lip and palate. This blog follows the ups and downs of her journey through the various stages of treatment, and offers some insight in to the life of a cleft-affected child. Being the parent of said child poses its own challenges, and updates are made when I can, not always as soon as something happens.
