Scaphocephaly

Now that I've had a chance to absorb things and think about it all, I have a much more positive view of it all. Like any good parent, I've been getting my misinformation from the Internet. The pictures of the little babies with IVs ontheir arms, and bandages covering their heads are heartbreaking, but I think I've come to the conclusion that I'm okay if he needs surgery. Obviously it's still scary and stressful, but I really think it will be okay. Quite a change from my last post where I seemed to have written him off completely. (WTF?). I guess that's a knee jerk for you.

Part of the whole surgery/problems with his head thing was that I worried how he would come out of it. Evan is absolutely the most cheerful, relaxed, wonderful kid. People who are around him a lot just can't believe what a happy kid he is all of the time. I suppose even for an adult you might worry how a surgery on thier head might affect them. Or maybe I just think and worry about bizarre things. After doing some hard thinking about the whole probable scenario, I have decided that I am pro surgery. I'd rather have him go through that than him become deformed or brain damaged. You think these things would have gone through my mind initially eh? I think that's another difference between the male and female brain. Alan, of course, was calm and logical from the start. I guess we balance each other out that way.

Tuesday I hope we'll actually get some information. They've been pretty vague so far, but the appointment with the plastic surgeon should provide at least a couple of answers.
