Harry is 22 months old. He han't had a jaw distraction. The specialsits at the RCH have said that he doesn't need one and possibly not at all as, his chin/jaw area is growing. If he does need one however, we are more than happy for him to have one for his health and well being are far more important than us being scared for him. After having his cleft repaired, we know that he's a strong little boy and can cope with anything.
