Wow, sometimes I forget things and I have ignored this blog for the last few days. I have really been busy with work and gearing up for Preston’s appointment tomorrow, err today. Just thinking about it has got me where I cannot sleep. I need to work on some of my personal online properties and can fill this sleepless time with that. It is easier to think when the house is asleep.
This appointment is a big one. He was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate and the guy is getting ready to start his next round of surgeries. We meet every six months with the Cleft Team in Jacksonville, FL to plan his treatment. The concept is great he will see plastic surgeons, dentist, oral surgeons, speech therapist, psychologist (I think that is more for mom and dad at this point) and pediatricians. What is good is we get to see all disciplines in one appointment and layout treatment plans. This is so much more convienient instead of running around to these different consults one at a time. They also collect data for the University of Florida so if we can contribute something to others for the advice we receive so be it.
Being a South Georgia boy helping the University of Florida goes against everything ingrained since birth. All of my family are University of Georgia Alumni, my father, brother and grandfather, and we have the border battle every year in Jacksonville, Florida aka “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.” However, I can let bygones be bygones we just need to win this one, I traded opening day at the Masters this year to be on the 50 yard line three seats up!
Here is some of the good work done by Preston’s plastic surgeon, Dr. Dean Glassman. So I do have to give the Gators a break.
Hats are off Dr Glassman
