I am so excited about Emmabug's Miracle Tree.
Emma was diagnosed with "Metopic Craniosynostosis" on January 17th 2006. They felt at the time her case was mild enough that she would not need surgery to correct it.
They went for a follow up appointment on June 8th 2006 and her skull deformation had progressed at an alarming rate. They told them they would need to operate in order to correct her head shape and prevent any brain and eye damage! She was scheduled for surgery on July 19th 2006..
The Surgery lasted 8 1/2 hours. She was in the hospital for 2 1/2 weeks. She surpassed all expectations and started walking and talking after just a week.
Today she is one of the sassiest little 3 year olds I have ever known. I just love Emma and I am so thankful for her miracle.
If you want to see our tree, we are in spot G-103.
Craniosynostosis is a Cranial disorder in which the sutures of the skull plates close prematurely - before the brain is through growing.This disorder has the result of an abnormal skull and deformation of the shape of the head.
