Testing, testing...




Is this thing on? Oh, hi, how are you? Sorry I abandoned you for so long, but we've been busy. "Doing what?," you ask. How about FREAKING OUT over the major surgery our daughter went through!
Suvi was diagnosed a few months ago with mytopic craniosynostosis. You can read about it here or here.
We were in the hospital for five days. Cincinnati Children's Hospital is amazing and took such good care of Suvi!
The surgery happened a little over a month ago, but she still has some swelling behind her right eye. Her incision, which is from ear to ear, is healing nicely, though. We'll continue to see the doctors every 3-6 months to ensure her skull is growing correctly and no "touch-up" surgery is needed.
We thank everyone for their words of encouragement, prayers, gifts and visits during that time. Friends and family mean the most!
I'm attaching some pictures from her recovering from surgery and more recent pics.
