I'd like you to meet Edgar and his younger brother Henry. Edgar already had his cleft lip repaired on a prior mission, so he was back to have some corrective surgery. It is very common for a cleft lip repair to require several follow up surgeries. This will be Henry's first cleft lip repair surgery. Edgar and Henry were inseparable during the duration of their stay at the hospital.
Before: Waiting in the hospital hallway
After: In the recovery room just before their discharge
