Craniosynostosis
Okay, so BabyGirl changed into formally identified with non-syndromatic sagittal craniosynostosis with scaphocephaly. (I think I burned at the least 50 calories simply remembering and typing all that). She'll have her first corrective surgical operation in October at MUSC Children's Hospital.
Dr. Glazier, the pediatric neurosurgeon we saw on Friday, and his surgical accomplice, a plastic general practitioner at Wake Forrest, found out the technique from a medical professional in Sweden who invented it and they pioneered all the rigors and studies concerned to get it accepted in America.
It's now not a common manner.
They've simplest executed this specific surgery 15o instances in the past 10 years.
Thankfully it's no longer nearly as invasive because the authentic approach which involved a couple of blood transfusions and a prolonged live inside the ICU. They'll make an S form incision down the the entire period of her skull and remove the fused sutures (the bone that grew together that should not have) and place several steel springs to pressure the skull to stay open. This allows her brain enough room to force the skull again into a right function allowing it room to make bigger. She'll go back 4 to six months later for another surgery to get rid of the springs. She'll need to put on a defensive helmet in the vehicle or if she's round older children or pets or situations in which she is probably jostled. The top news is that she'll have both of the surgeries before her first Birthday and she'll in no way recall a issue.
Her group has had a a hundred% fulfillment rate and not using a recurrences or comply with up surgical procedures wanted.
We feel so blessed to have so many friends and circle of relatives praying for our candy child. We are confidant that she is in God's loving fingers and he's placed her inside the bodily fingers of a particularly skilled health care provider.
I've nicknamed him McSteadyHands.
In my opinion it is higher than McDreamy or McSteamy mixed.
