We just had a second appointment for A this past Monday. It went very well. The diagnosis and prognosis are still the same. Surgery is still suggested and we'll need to start seeing an ophthmalogist to monitor the pressure on A's retinas to make sure there isn't any sort of build up in her skull. We'll see an ophthamologist every six months until she is three years old.
We're seeing her chiropractor every other week and her cranio sacral therapist every week. It's been nice to get into a bit of a rhythm. That's also allowed for a lot of introspection.
Mainly, I think over her first couple of weeks of life and think ... wow, baby, you've been through a lot. The surgery for craniosynostosis for infants under 8 weeks of age might have been something we would have considered but there was no way for us to have received the diagnosis before the 8 week mark. Life is funny like that sometimes.
Our chiropractor started a new adjustment on Wednesday (or I think I should say her body asked for such an adjustment) that is for the hard palate. Moving to new areas in the head is always a good thing in my mind because it seems that more and more pieces of the puzzle are being unlocked. Natural sorts of healing are slow but steady.
Otherwise, there's nothing new to report in our neck of the woods. Many blessings to you and yours!
