Not a big revelation by any means, but a revelation none-the-less.
Kaylee has no uvula. A bit strange, I know. And for those who do not know...the uvula is the hangy thing at the back of your throat. The first thing I thought of when I saw this was, "at least she can't get it pierced!" and yes, they can indeed, pierce the hangy thing in the back of your throat. I was going to get it done once but chickened out and got my tongue pierced instead. :)
Anyway, that was just something I wanted to bring up, because I decided to do some research on the subject of a missing uvula and what that might mean for her in the future. And I found this happy tid-bit from the most reliable source on the interwebs - wikipedia! The research is backed up by the many medical journals that are listed on the sidebar of this blog :)
"When cleft palate occurs, the uvula is usually split. It occurs due to the failure of fusion of the lateral palatine processes, the nasal septum, and/or the median palatine processes (formation of the secondary palate)."
I just thought it was interesting. I had read it before during my initial research about this, however I never really looked at the back of Kaylee's throat to check. So, yeah. That was my revelation for the day.
Enjoy the barrel of happy that is my Kaylee!
