You've come a long way, baby

One year ago, my baby boy had to have skull surgery for "sagittal cranio synostosis", which basically means his soft spot closed up prematurely. He had to have it corrected so his skull could grow properly. It was one of the most terrifying things I've ever gone through, but by the grace of God, he came through it like the champ that he is. One of the biggest dangers with this particular surgery is blood loss. Me and my family members who were compatible gave blood before his surgery, just in case. We also had several people at my church come give blood for him. Guess what? He didn't need it!! He also did not have to go to ICU, he went to a regular room. The Dr. was amazed. The rest of us, not so much. :) We knew how many prayers were going up for him. This is the day after:

This was a few weeks after, the swelling had gone down and his hair was coming in good:
And this was from today:
We had his one year follow up appointment and xrays today. This is Hector James, M.D., F.A.A.P. He is one of the few board certified pediatric neurosurgeons in the state of Florida, and we were very blessed to find him in Jacksonville. He did a wonderful job and I am very grateful to him for his dedication to this field, and for the care he provided for us.

God is Good, all the time.
