Uh, watch the video, and you’ll see how pointless that would be. A cleft palate is the very least of his problems.
EDIT: Oh, fuck, don't look up Matthew Manuel today, they've gotten that poor thing to survive three years and its horrific. This is a quote from their last blog update:
You get some mild hope that the parents have finally realized they should let this potato die in peace but nope. The blog goes on to say they've found some hokey holisitic behavior program that's offering a real chance for Matthew's quality of life! I looked into the place, it's mostly a for profit program that trains parents with kids with ADD, autism, etc... yet somehow the parents think it offers real hope for their potato. They are pouring money into this BS too. It's just fucking sad and delusional and I can't believe that poor thing is still being subjected to this shit. I don't know if this is peak potato torture but it seems close.
Fyi: Mathew has 150 to 200 seizures per day even while on 9 anti-seizures meds including massive levels of phenobarbital
