I'm sure loads of people will have you all in their thoughts, including myself. Thanks for sharing this, love how real and honest you are, never apologise for getting upset. It's a natural emotion. Take care xxx
when you're a mummy, your children are your world!! so yes this is the biggest thing in your world, don't ever feel guilty or apologize for how you feel anyone in your position would feel the same. my friends son has had a cleff palette repair and I didn't know until she had told me. my son had a tendon transfer last year on his right foot to correct his talipies (aged 3), so I completely sympathise with you, and watching your video brings back so many emotions from such a difficult time. I hope everything goes well for daisy, I will have her in my thoughts on the big day. big hugs to you xx
Ms Charlotte..you are brave you are strong you can do this!!!! Use this as your mantra when u have those tough moments. In a year from now you can look back & see how strong you are & daisy can look back later & know your love & strength as her mum! Come on sister power thru!!! I believe in u!!!!! Mama power!!!!
Charlotte, you have every right to feel the way you do. It must be so daunting as it's been building up for so long. It is the biggest thing in the world for you and your family. However, it is all for the best as you well know from your own experience. Thank you for the informative video, I will be thinking of you all and sending you lots of luck on the day and for the future hurdles. She is such a doll and has come so far! Chin up! Xx
I don't usually comment on videos but seeing you so emotional really got to me and as a mother to a 5 month old I can only imagine how you must be feeling. I wish you and your little Daisy all the best for her operation xxx
Charlotte, we are all here for you, Mark & your precious babies. Praying for all of you, and a special prayer for Daisy flower. Love & Blessings💕💕💕,...xx
Oh Charlotte, firstly I'm sending you a huge hug, mumma. You are so so brave for making this video, I am certain that there's parents out there who are facing the same journey and will find comfort from you. On a day that is known for love, hearts and flowers. I for one, will be sending you, Daisy, Mark and Bill lots of love, keep you all in my heart and be thinking of your precious little flower. Don't apologise for getting upset, sweetheart, you're human, that's what we do. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and loved more than you know 💛 xxxx
Aww Charlotte, this was such a moving video! You are a wonderful Mummy to William and little Daisy and such an inspiration and brave young woman! We will all be with you every step of the way, no need to apologise for 'rambling'' it's a human emotion when you are worried about your precious baby. Sending you loads of hugs lovely xx
You are so brave to share your journey, I'm sure it's going to help so many other parents out there. Will be thinking of you all, especially beautiful Daisy xxx
You are so incredibly strong! My little girl is 5mo and she was in neonatal for the first week of her life where we didn't have the best experience. It has left me incredibly scared of ever having to go back to hospital and trusting strangers to take care of her. We came very close to having to go in last night and I was terrified! I can't imagine what it must be like for you, but I will definitely be thinking of you and little Daisy. Sending you all my love ❤️
Im so glad i found your channel. I know these vids are 3 years old but its interesting to watch your daughters journey as i was 11 months old when my cleft pallete was repaired (i have marshal/stickler syndrome like you and your daughter :) ) i like this perspective of what it must have been like for my mom and i have so much respect for how strong mamas are who have to endure this ❤️ i subscribed
You are so brave to share this, I cried along with you. Daisy is so strong but I can understand why you are worried but she will be fine. Big hugs sent your way xxxx
I found your channel about a month or two after my Daisy was born. She was also born with an isolated cleft in the soft palate. Your video today hit me square in the gut. I've been having similar feelings lately as my Daisy is 5 months old, we've been through such a wide range of appointments and there have been talks of her having Stickler since my oldest daughter was born with a submucous cleft. I know what to expect to some degree, but I also don't know how the surgery will affect an infant since my oldest daughter was 4 when she had her first surgery and then a fistula repair 6 months later. Thank you for sharing your journey. It really has let me know that I'm not alone. :)
Wish I could give you a hug , it must be so horrible going back to hospital and doing all that again - bless you. I hope she has a quick a recovery as possible and you are ok too lovely xx
Ow my love ❤️We had a rough ride with hospitals and I can relate to the dread of going back there. You shouldn't feel guilty one bit!! Your doing all you can and she will be fine but it's hard. Sending you our thoughts and a little prayer 🙏🏻 She'll still be your Daisy and she'll make new noises and it won't be any different.
You are a brilliant mummy! It's so difficult to come to terms with the fact things are being taken out of your control, but just keep reminding yourself that this is a step forward. I kind of understanding how your feeling with the whole blaming yourself thing, my son has a rare genetic syndrome, and I carry the DNA mutations that carry it. So I went into a dark place for a long time, thinking it's my fault that he'll never walk, and I'll never hear him say 'I love you mummy' but as he's grown, he's found different ways to communicate which brightens my heart. We've also been there in terms of the surgery side of things, although very different to what you guys are experiencing. It is so scary to have that control taken away, but just remember you'll be there when she's goes to sleep, and you and her daddy are the first people she'll see when she wakes up. She'll be so looked after! This is a massive step into the unknown for you all, but please know, it will definitely get easier. After everything you've been through already, you'll rock this out! I find strength in our 'Positives' and brushing the negatives to the side, you can't change anything, so you should definitely appreciate the positive things you have! I hope this helps you, I'm not great at getting my point across clearly when writing 🙊 x
I am a fairly new subscriber. I am shocked to see the title of this video. Of the few videos I watched of yours with Daisy featured I haven't even noticed she has a cleft. I'm always so mesmerized by her beautiful eyes and that sweet button nose. She's beautiful, Stay strong mama! ❤
Will be thinking of all your family! You've put a video in to how I'm feeling about my sons operation in March. He's a month or two older than Daisy and it's really hard. My partner's taking paternal leave which any parent can take for I think up to 18 weeks a year. I'm not sure if Mark would be able to do that and help you or if you knew about the leave as you mentioned school runs etc. I just thought I would let you know as it was a great comfort knowing my partner could use that as he had no holiday entitlement left and be there. You're amazing and always remember you're doing your best :) xxxx
Hope it goes well. I'm sure she will be fine. Millions of children have surgery everyday ..Just think of the end result and the fact that she is a healthy and a happy child all in all. Good luck xxxxx
Very brave to share, can't even imagine what's your go by through. My little dude was in scbu for 16 days which in comparison is nothing but to us that was hell on earth so I'm sending lots of love to you all. As for the school run and keep daisy well I would pop the rain cover on while your out no matter the weather. I did that on the school run when Esme my youngest had chicken pox. She had only just turned 1 last march and caught it off her brother who had it 2 week before hand. I still needed to get him to school and also keep esme protected. I have the wayfarers in raspberry so the rain cover is like a huge bubble and it did the trick. (. Please understand I'm not comparing chicken pox to Daisy's recovery) just a little suggestion Hun to try and help manage life. I know how hard it is to juggle life with 2 little ones. I'm on my own so throwIng a poorly baba in the mix your one amazing lady. Chin up sweet. Lots of love xxxx ❤️
i know it isnt the same thing but my little boy Oskar needs to have an op this year, he has a small hypospadia ( no idea if i have spelt that right lol) which is a birth defect to his ... boy bits.. which needs correcting. i am TERRIFIED , i know this op happens 10 times a day.. surgeons can do it with thier eyes closed , but that makes no differance to me. he is my baby. my small bloke who be operated on. and thats huge to me. your an amazing mommy. Daisy is adorable. and you have almost 9000 people who are here for you. stay strong sweetheart xx
My baby is going to be 6months and I feed her orally but also she has NG tube not sure when they will remove coz she can’t drink from a bottle or a cup, I feel you so much so many nights I cried to sleep and now what scares me is after the repair. FYI her PRS is 2 and it’s only the soft palate. Can you please tell me when did you start your speech and language therapy? What was your age? And was it private or was referred by a doc? You’re amazing and I love you.
Oh Charlotte, I'm watching this in tears. I'm a parent of two and pregnant with another and can't imagine how you are feeling. I just think you're amazing.
