Everything is progressing well. We have maybe one more night at OHSU then they'll let us go home. I thought I'd put a picture of before and after so you can see a bit of the change. We are cleaning the incision every 5 hrs and giving meds every 4 hrs. She is awake more and wanting to play with things... like the tubes even though her eyes are swollen shut and she can't see a thing. The Dr. said it could take 3 weeks for the swelling to really go down (I didn't put a current picture with the swelling on here yet). She also said the corrections to the skull will take a year to two years to round out and fuse together and become the final shape. It is incredible that this procedure can be done and has such dramatic results. We are blessed.
