Charlie's Cranial Reconstruction Part II

On January 3rd we entered the hospital for what we pray will be the last time to fix Charlie's skull. Dr. Johnson removed the skull from the bottom of the ears upward, cut it into several different pieces and put it back stratigacally, completely reshaping Charlie's head. We hope that the cranial synostosis will be a thing of the past. Dr. Johnson is a wonderful surgeon and Charlie is the toughest baby we've ever known. After only four days in the hospital, the bandages were removed and we were sent home! Yeah!
