From feelings of uncertainty to hope and healing, Dottie’s journey has been supported every step of the way by the dedicated craniofacial team at shrinersboston. Born with a cleft lip and palate, Dottie underwent three surgeries before her first birthday. Dottie's parents are grateful for the supportive team that surrounds their family. They also appreciate the Craniofacial Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC), where they connect with and learn from other families facing similar experiences. “It’s a valuable opportunity to share challenges, gain support and learn from others,” said Dottie’s mother, Ellen. #ShrinersChildrens #CleftStrong #CleftCutie
