Manuel is ready for surgery. It only takes about 45 minutes to repair his lip, an operation that will make a dramatic change in his life. Daireli is comforts Manuel in the recovery room following surgery.

The next morning there is hardly a trace of the cleft and the happy family is ready to head home.
