Today Abby had an eye appointment to assess her progress with the patch and re-evaluate her post-op situation.
First, the good news. The patch is really helping to strengthen the vision in her left eye. Also, since the surgery, her "tilt" (torticollis) is really improving. Excellent!
Now for the not so good news... Abby will need surgery to correct the placement of her eye. I don't totally understand the details, and will be calling the doctor for clarification tomorrow, but the bottom line is that she will need to undergo an outpatient surgery under anesthesia.
It could be worse. It could be a hell of a lot better, but... all things considered, it could be worse. So now I guess now we'll just soldier on and hope for the best.
Sigh.

About Me

- I am a 30-something single Mama living in North Carolina with my amazing baby girl and big, dumb (but sweet) dog. My daughter Abigail has a condition called craniosynostosis, which means the sutures in her skull have fused prematurely. She had surgery to correct it on September 21. I created this site to keep family and friends updated as we go through the surgery, recovery, and beyond. Welcome!

So sorry to hear about the need for another surgery for Abby. But judging by the video, she looks like she's had a great recovery and is very happy! Nathan can't wait to play again!

I am so sorry that more surgery is looming on your horizon. I really hope it goes smoothly for you both. Abby is truly gorgeous, the photos of her on your website make my heart lurch.
