We had CC's surgery follow-up appointment on Feb. 12 - everything is looking good! The stitches are starting to fall out, and it looks like the swelling is gone - you can see the plates beneath the skin at her temples now!
After the quick follow-up appointment, we had CC's head scanned so they can fit her for a Cranio-Cap - the helmet will help her head grow into a normal shape - specifically there is a spot on the back of her skull that is flat and wasn't able to grow right due to her craniosynotosis. Dr. Wood usually did not encourage a decision either way for the helment, but because she had surgery, the cap makes sure everything works out right. Given the fact that this all started with an appointment to see if she needed a helmet in December, we were ready and waiting for this!
Here are some pics of CC getting scanned - she looked like a little albino monkey!

Playing with Mommy's ID Badge
"Yes yes yes, it's so funny I look like a monkey!"
"Don't tell me she's sneaking up behind me!"
"Stay on target! Stay on target!"
"Frodo, get down! The Eye sees you!"
Two days later, Daddy sent Mommy a message on her cell phone. CC says, "Happy Valentine's Day!"
