Here is a side-by-side view of how much Cooper's gap has come together. His palate gap was over 12mm wide and as of almost a month ago it is actually touching! 
Left: 1 Day Old, Middle: 3 Months using NAM before Nasal Stent, Right: 1 Week Old

Front of palate finally touches!
Last Stage of Cooper's NAM. It is shaved off as much as possible and no more acrylic can be added.
Yay!! You must be feeling like it has all been worth it...what great results! Don't they just love having their lips, etc. pulled at for pictures? ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely worth it! He's doing great and eating like a little piggy now. Coop knows that when he lies on his back it's not good..either taping, NAM is being put in, or worst of all-progress pictures. :)
