For those who don’t know, Ben was diagnosed with metopic
craniosynostosis when he was a newborn. He had surgery at 5 months old
to remove the fused suture and reconstruct his forehead. In most cases
of craniosynostosis only one surgery is needed. However, for unknown
reasons, Ben’s head has not been growing as it should be.
Ben will be having the original surgery redone on June 22nd with Dr. K (neurosurgeon) and Dr. B
(plastic surgeon). I will share updates from the surgery and his
recovery on this page. We expect him to be in the hospital for about 4-5 days. Once he is home he will need to take it easy until his
incision heals but as long as he feels ok he will be able to resume all
activities.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this next journey! And of course all of our love!!!��❤️ Margaret, Bob, Jeanne, Rob and family & Val, Billy and family
