At 3 months old we went back to Salt Lake and had a check up with the plastic surgeon. He explained that we are still looking at doing her cranial surgery around 6 months of age. During this surgery they will remove bones in her skull and reshape it so that her sutures are open and make sure everything can grow properly. Her skull will be held together by metal plates and screws that will dissolve overtime. They will also move her brow forward, put the tubes in her ears, and if time allows cheek bones; basically giving her more of an eye socket.
She is hitting all of the baby milestones and doing amazing! Everything that a baby her age should do! She now weighs 11 lbs. 15 oz. and is 24 inches tall!
Her older sister Charlee wants to do everything with her and loves her to pieces!
Soon after her 3 month visit we scheduled the first surgery, which is the cranial reconstruction, for January 22, 2013.
Cuddling up on her sister!
Our little Tar Heel!
