This is Ryan. He lives a good 6-7 hours from New York City, but his parents traveled weekly for his NAM adjustments and stayed in the city while he had his lip surgery. Ryan was born with several complications other than the cleft, all of which are related to a syndrome. He has had several surgeries for issues related to his kidneys in addition to surgery to repair his cleft. In spite of all the challenges he’s faced since he was born a year ago, his mom, Eunok, says he is always smiling at everyone and is a very happy boy. I met up with Ryan’s parents at NYU while Eunok was still pregnant and Emily was going through the molding process. They are the sweetest parents and I truly feel blessed to know them.
Happy Birthday Ryan
