Clinic Time

Patience’s first taste of cleft palate clinic. Just like big brother Yali. And just like big brother, she did well. She marched up and down the halls to all her appointments in her stocky red cowboy boots, which everyone loved.

“These boots are made for walkin’,” one of the nurses sang to her.

Two hours later she left overflowing with goodies, including an orange toothbrush from the dental team, stickers from Audiology, and pretzels from the snack bar. And not a tear shed.
