Gaby said...

Hello,
I ran into your blog by searching about Crainiosynostosis. I must begin by saying you have a beautiful family!! My son who is 2.5 months got diagnosed recently and we were trying to decide wich surgery to go for. I saw that you had two children with this condition and have chosen to different procedures for each. Any advice on your experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless!
