All done!

Spring-loaded skull.

September 2, 2008

We are out of the hospital, and have a date for surgery. September 24th. Dr. David was very helpful, and answered all of our questions. The surgery is a newer, less invasive surgery where they will reopen the suture and put some springs in there to hold it open. That will allow the head to [...]
