it has been 14 months since that dreaded day.
the day when my 4 month-old baby son would be taken into surgery and have spaces made into his skull due to a lack of open “soft spot.” he had/has craniosynostosis (when the sutures in your skull are closed too early–his were before he was even born).
it was a scary time.
it was a time full of the Lord’s peace.
and yet, as i write today, it seems like it happened millions of years ago.
Brother, today, is an active 18 month old—
running,
playing,
climbing on all-things-dangerous,
and doing the things i imagined him to be doing.
we are thankful and blessed by his healing and beautiful spirit.
if you or anyone you know is facing cranio surgery, please feel free to email me. i love to offer our story, because when we were going through it, we felt like no one else ever had.
many hugs,
Andi
He looks FANTASTIC! We are 3 months post op and I tell you that his pictures are so encouraging. It is incredible how fast they can bounce back! Congrats and here’s to hoping we never have to deal with cranio issues again!!
awe look how big he is!!! and he is the perfect mix between you and jon. it’s so crazy!
We are so happy for the success and healing and he is such a joy! Looks a lot like his grandpa Mishler, too. What a cutie pie! Love the watermelon picture with sister, precious! Love all of you guys….
Isn’t it amazing how children can test the true strength of our hearts?! I’m so glad your little man is doing wonderful! Our 7 yr old had open heart surgery when she was 2. I don’t think anything could be harder!
Wow what a great testimony of God’s providence and the blessing of medical interventions. He is precious! What a blessing!
i love his name. so much. such a little miracle.
