My daughter had surgery to correct Sagittal Synostosis (she had no soft spot, her skull fused early) on July 26, 2007. She did wonderfully and is healthy and happy now. Journaling reads: "July 26, 2007 is a day that
Daddy and I will never forget. It was time
for you to have corrective surgery for
Sagittal Synostosis. Your skull fused too
early, and the doctors had to fix it so your
brain had room to grow. We took you to
The Children’s Hospital in Denver, Colorado
to the best craniofacial surgical team in the
country.Knowing you were seeing the best still
didn’t make it any easier. It was the most
agonizing four hours of my life, and I can’t even
describe the feeling of relief when the surgeons
came out and told us it was over, and that you
did wonderfully. It was surreal being in a hospital
where my 3-month old baby was a patient.

Everyone told us that you were going to make
it through the surgery better than Daddy and I.
I will have to agree with them. You showed such
amazing strength and courage that I didn’t know
was possible, especially for such a tiny human
being. My view on life was changed when you
were born, but after this, everything was wiped
out, and I was left with greater appreciation of
how fragile life is, and the overwhelming desire
to assure that I live each day to the fullest, and
NEVER take you for granted. Not only did you
amaze me, but I surprised myself. I guess I knew
that I had to be strong for you. You needed my
strength to help you heal.

Everything leading up to, and following your
surgery has been life changing. You strength
will always be a reminder to me to never lose...HOPE."
