Yes, although every time one stands before the newscast he ends up exhausted and depressed, there are still good people in the world. In fact, they are probably many more than the bad ones, but the latter make so much noise!
I talk about the story of a couple, their baby and an anonymous person who decided to pay the child's lip fissure operation, after seeing that people laughed at him on social networks.
What is the cleft lip and palatal
The causes of these malformations are several. It is known that there is a genetic component, but it can also happen due to a disease during pregnancy, together with other congenital syndromes or anomalies or for drug use (also tobacco or alcohol).
The lip fissure It is a cleft in the lip that can be small or can reach the base of the nose, separating the lip into two parts. The palatal fissureOn the other hand, it is a similar condition (a cleft) that can be on the right and / or left side of the palate, which can be both small and encompass the entire palate.
The prognosis is good: most babies will be fine, without more difference with the rest than the scar that may be left after an intervention that is usually performed between six weeks of life and nine months. If there is also a cleft palate, another intervention may be necessary later, because during the first year it closes on its own.
They found out in the 24th week of gestation
As Fox News explains, parents, Shara and Chris, discovered that their baby, Brody, would have lip cleft, and probably palatal, in the 24 week of pregnancy.
From that moment they began to explain her pregnancy and how she was progressing both in a blog and on Instagram, to receive support from people and to raise awareness of this condition with which a minority of babies is born.
Once the baby was already born, they continued to share images of their day-to-day life, and everything was going well until they began to arrive with disrespectful comments, full of ignorance and bad intentions.
Some of those comments caught Brody's mother at a dinner in a restaurant; people who even asked them how it was possible for a three-month-old child to already have mistreatment injuries, or who asked why his face was like that, or directly mocked.
Right there, in public, Shara collapsed and began to cry, surprised to see how people were reacting to seeing her baby. How was such rejection possible? Why so little touch? Why this bad intention?
The waiter brought you a check with a note
Sounds like a movie, but it was. Minutes after the event, the waiter approached and handed the mother something from an anonymous person. Next to a thousand dollar check, the note said "For your wonderful baby".
This help served so that Brody could be operated and the change, more than evident, can be seen today in the photos that his parents continue to share with him.
