This is my darling grandson. He was born with a deformation in the folds of skin above his vocal chords. He was not getting enough oxygen, because those flaps would cover his breathing tube, so he wasn't eating or growing properly. At around 4 months old, the doctors figured out what was wrong and with some pushing, sheduled surgery for my grandson fairly quickly. These photos are of him in the hospital before and after his surgery - which worked! He is now growing like a weed. We found out that he now - at 8 months - needs another surgery because he has sleep apnea, which may be linked to those darned flaps. They may need to be cut a bit more. So I figured I'd better scrap the first one, so I could then scrap the second one.
