Welcome

Thank you for visiting. Braydon was diagnosed with Craniosynostosis at his 2 month check-up. I hope that reading his story, it will help out another family going through a similar situation. Also Ethan was diagnosed with Craniosynostosis at 1 week old.

They say the first night is the roughest

Well if that's the case then I think I can handle this.  While it's no fun to hear Braydon moan in pain, he hasn't really been crying out and has slept for most of the night.  Terry and I have been taking hour shifts sitting up with him in case he needs anything.  While a hour sleep at a time isn't the greatest, at least it's giving us both some rest that we both need.

Well the little piggy is still in there.  He had 1 oz of pedialyte last night and kept it down so they let us give him the rest.  He chugged it down like a shooter.  A couple of hours later they let us give him 3 ounces of breast milk and he took it like a champ.  He didn't throw it back up.  So this morning he was able to get another 3 ounces.  So far so good.  I'm hoping that soon I will get to hold him as I think they'll be removing some of the wires.

Thank you again for all your love and support.  We can feel it from near and far.

  1. Fiona did well the first night as well, a couple days later when her eyes were swollen shut is when she started getting really mad :-) But I could handle it.

    I'm so glad that he is doing so well. Hopefully today they will take out some of the wires.
