Sweet Cheeks' Craniosynostosis Update

We are coming upon ten weeks since Sweet Cheeks has had his surgery and I have noticed a great improvement. His head is by no means perfect but is perfect to me :) His hair grew back to what he had before surgery- I was so sad to see it all cut off it took so long to get any. He has rounded out and is supposed to look much better as his head grows. We will go back in July to see his surgeon for a check up. This is a pictorial of his journey up until now.

we loved him passionately no matter what!

Before surgery:

very aerodynamic!

became more oval as he grew

few weeks old- notice bump in back

bump grew as he did

During 10 day hospital stay:

we loved all the nurses at Cardinal Glennon! Always managed a smile for us no matter how much pain :)

very swollen day after surgery

 We are thanking God every day for our little boy! He is soooo sweet and such a precious blessing!! Our family would not be the same without him! We love you Sweet Cheeks!!!!

Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name ... 1 Chron 29:13
