It is hard to believe it has been one month since Ivan got his new round head. The changes are incredible. We have had a blast watching him embrace his new world. The first picture was taken two days before surgery, the other was taken today. He is starting to count, he only gets to two, but it's a start! He can name a few numbers and spontaneously points out colors, he even gets it right sometimes! He is continuing conversations with us, rather than waiting for us to tell him what to say. If we say, "Hi Ivan", he'll say "Hi Dada" without us prompting him first.
Thank you to Mary Ellen (Ivan's speech pathologist) for discovering Ivan's synostosis. Thanks to Dr. Singhal for giving Ivan a beautiful round head and a new life. Thanks to all of Dr. Singhal's nurses, Leah, Diane and Margie, who took care of Ivan and us too. Thanks to all the PICU nurses, Lauren, PJ, Amber, Nicole, and Christie. Thanks to all our friends who brought us dinner after surgery and gave me a shoulder to cry on before surgery. We love you all.
And especially thanks for all the prayers. What a miracle...
