That's a very nice story.  I hope baby Matthew grows up happy since he's already blessed enough to be saved.  Any plans on when to start work on the corrective surgery?  That can't be cheap, and I admit it's none of my business but I wonder how someone would go about getting the $$$ for surgery that is essential but damned expensive.

Our insurance should cover it.  There is a group that operates out of the U of M that specializes in cleft pallate stuff as part of Operation Smile.  Ironically they were at the same hospital in Liberia in January.  They couldn't figure out why they saw so few cleft kids.  The lead doctor is willing to take care of Matt. so I think it will be ok

Well, I have goosbumps and crying.  :cry  What a great story.  I lost a son twelve years ago and a day never goes by that I don't think of him.  I am blessed with two other boys that are great.  God Bless all three of you.  It is stories like this one that brings you back to reality.  :aok

Outstanding read Dan. Thanks for sharing that one and I know that you will be well taken care of in whatever happens. If you guys need anything I don't know what I can do other than add you guys to the good vibes, prayer list and help that way. God Bless you, your wife and your new son.
