So, it's labor day. And the end of summer. Yes!
Though I documented our progress with chicken scratch on some paper over the last month, I in no way got to write it all out here. I'm still trying to breathe .... maybe it's the humidity here?
Great news -- A is doing fabulously and has been able to release any sort of muscles torques and tightnesses that were impeding her growth and the un-fusing of her suture. Bad news -- it seems that she possibly didn't have a suture to begin with.
The head is composed of several bones and the two of the "top" of the head are called the parietal bones. The parietals run along the sagtital suture, which should expand as a child grows to allow for brain growth. A's parietal bones seem to have a suture that is twisted and overlapped in the front but solid bone in the back. And that seems to be the worst case scenario.
Overall, I'm pretty thrilled that she has been able to receive the treatment she has so far and I'm still hopeful that something might work out.
Hi, I've been following your blog and am curious as to how you were able to determine there wasn't a suture? My son has been diagnosed with sagittal craniosyntosis as well and I have been taking him to a chiro and have been looking in cranial sacral therapy too as a last resort before surgery. What a blessing to find your blog. We are living in Bowie and your recommendations are very very very helpful to us. Thank you so much for taking the time to document your family's experience. How is your little one doing?
