Boston

In August, Boston had surgery to repair the remainder of his original type 4 cleft and to have a stent placed. We recently returned to Cincinnati Children's Hospital hoping to permanently remove the stent, but two weeks later, the stent needed to be replaced. 

The trip from Minnesota to Cincinnati was stressful because it is over a 10-hour drive. With two toddlers, this was not ideal. Due to Boston's medical needs, we had to stay in Cincinnati longer than we had originally planned. Knowing we would be able to use the LCN travel grant to help with lodging helped us so much. We are so grateful!
