On June 18th 2013, our soon to be 5 month old baby girl was diagnosed with Left Coronal Craniosynostosis. We were told she missed the window for having the smaller endoscopic surgery and that she would need a major reconstructive surgery of her skull around one year of age. We were determined to find a doctor who would still do the smaller surgery. This is documentation of our journey in hopes of helping others who are going through the same thing.

She really has come so far...
Our sweet Alice turned 3 years old today. I thought I would post a comparison picture to celebrate how far she's come in 2 and a half years. She had endoscopic surgery for left coronal (unicoronal) craniosynostosis when she was 5 months old.
I noticed her asymmetry at birth and I kick myself for not following my gut feeling and getting it checked out sooner. I convinced myself not to worry and that it was just from the birthing process. Thank goodness it was caught in time...it was caught just barely in time for her to be a candidate for the endoscopic surgery. Moral of the story is to always follow your gut feeling!
