these are a couple of the clowns that visited Shriners the day we took Erik for his post op check up. the Clown that is holding Erik shared with us that he was born with a unilateral cleft lip and palate and he had 6 surgeries by the time he was 21 and that his palate is still partially open because back then, they really didn't know how to repair them. Erik wasn't afraid to the clowns, but at first he wasn't too sure what to think. As I was getting him out of his carrier, his eyes and mouth were as big as his head, but he never puckered or cried at the clown. Nicholas at this age, bawled when he met Ronald McDonald.
