A Little Blessing

My name is Brandon Burditt. I was born with a bilaterral cleft lip and cleft palate. I had three surgeries in my first year of life; but that hasn't stopped me. Some say I am a little charmer; I love to cuddle, laugh, and play.
This is my journey...

Take me out to the ball game...

After a busy week including two doctor's appointments, we ended the week with some fun at the Mud Hens game. I'm pleased to report that the orthopedic doctor has evaluated Brandon's bone structure and has informed us that his bones look great! Aside from Brandon being small in stature, his bones are healthy, proportional, and developing appropriately. One of the concerns with Brandon since birth was for possible dwarfism. At this point Brandon has NOT been diagnosed with any form of dwarfism . He will continue receiving his nightly shots for his growth hormone deficiency and continue scheduled follow up appointments with his specialists to monitor his growth and development. Now... if we could just get the upper respiratory/wheezing issues resolved. :)
