All about me

My name is Brinlee Monica Buchanan. I was born on Friday August 20th at 9:13 pm at Timpanogos Regional Hospital. I weighed 7 pounds, 11 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. I was born with bi-lateral cleft lip and I was born without a hard and soft palate. My mommy and daddy were told that I would struggle with eating and that I would probably not pass my newborn hearing test. I proved them wrong by passing my newborn hearing test and becoming a champ at eating. mommy and Daddy feed me with a special bottle that they can squeeze the milk out of since I cannot suck on my own. I am growing like a weed and I am adored by my mommy and daddy and my big brothers Wyatt and Matthew and big sister Cassidy. My mommy says I am her little miracle because of how well I am excelling despite the challenges I was born with. My daddy says I was given to our family to bring them an increase of love and faith and he hopes he can be worthy of the blessing that I am. I am a beautiful baby girl who will soon be going through some very tough times, but mommy says I am strong and with the help of my Heavenly Father and a loving earthly family I will make it through. This blog is for all the people in my life who love me and want to share in my journey with cleft lip and palate.
