Back from my son's surgery

    It went very well, although I'm exhausted. Hospitals have to be among the least restful places to try to sleep. I can hardly wait for the incisions to heal. He didn't need any blood, so that was a huge relief. Gage doesn't seem to be having too much pain from it either.

    I'll be so glad when he gets his helmet to finish the reshaping.

    hope he has a speedy recovery.

    kids are pretty resilient, is the condition fully treated now?

    A lot of kids are born with skulls that are not normal TOOT, the helmets are just like a orthodontic appliance to reshape the mouth.

    Great news SF, we are glad you have the chance to tell us and get some of the stress off your back.

    Good one, hang in there. :eek:

    He will have about 3 months in the helmet. For those who missed it, his condition is called craniosynostosis, which basically means his head was long and narrow. Not life threatening, but slight possibility of mental issues, from attention deficit to retardation, so well worth fixing.
