cleft lip and cleft palate

Well, there's a lot going on in this week's episode.

Harelip arrives in town with a coach full of foreign teenagers while Tubbs and Edward, the proprietors of the local shop, are trying to find a friend for their son, David.

Meanwhile, at the Windermere B&B, Alvin is trying to find his place among his wife's bimonthly swingers orgy.

Times are tough for Pauline, recently sacked from her position at the job center.

... without meaning to.

Really good.

And then just to end the episode, Harelip meets Justin the schoolboy.

Yes.

[gentle music] Hello, welcome back to the Cleft Palate Craniofacial Journal Podcast.

I am your host, Laura Bethea.

I am a cleft mom and, uh, the Our Forever Smiles media host, and I have been, um, honored to host this podcast today too as well.

Today, I am speaking with author Victoria Reynolds, who recently published a research article in the Cleft Palate Craniofacial Journal, and it is entitled A New Protocol for Early Intervention in Infants with Cleft Palate, uh, Language and Articulation.

Thank you so much for joining me today, Victoria.

Thank you for having me, Laura.

So as we were kind of sharing before I started, um, rolling this podcast, so I am Laura.

I am a cleft mom first.

There was the Bacillus anthracius, there was the Micrococcus, there was the Bacterium termo, and the Bacterium lactis.

That's what turns the goat milk sour even to this day, Harelip.

and there were schismomycetes without end and there were many others here the old man launched into a disquisition on germs and their natures using words and phrases of such extraordinary length and meaninglessness that the boys grinned at one another and looked out over the deserted ocean till they forgot the old man was babbling on but the scarlet deathgrancer edwin at last suggested Granser recollected himself, and with a start tore himself away from the rostrum of the lecture hall, where, to another world audience, he had been expounding the latest theory, sixty years gone, of germs and germ diseases.

"'Yes, yes, Edwin, I had forgotten.

I married into that tribe.

My sons and daughters married into the Chauffeurs, the Sacramentos, and the Palo Altos.

You, Harelip, are of the Chauffeurs.

You, Edwin, are of the Sacramentos.
