This is an inspiring memoir about Jorge Posada's son and his many surgeries to correct craniosynostosis. That sweet baby pictured is my oldest son at just 8 months old after his cranial vault reconstruction for sagittal craniosynostosis (the most common form). He has a zigzag scar that runs from ear to ear. Because of this condition, I had to have an emergency c-section. So, in the end, scars all around. 😬💚#ScarTissue #90sInJuly 👇🏻

britt_brooke @AReaderWhoMoms @Laura317 @LeahBergen @Notafraidofwords @Books_Wine_Repeat @Hollie @Mimi28 @CouronneDhiver @UwannaPublishme @LibrarianJen @Mamashep @rachelm Thank you all so much for the kind words! He bounced back and recovered so quickly, it was nuts! Being in children's hospitals is so difficult. I was quickly put in my place when I saw children with worse problems when my son's condition was curable. He's a healthy, incredibly smart 5yr old! (edited) 7y
britt_brooke @Cinfhen ☺️😘 You are so very sweet - thank you! Luckily, that one surgery, though major, fixed his problem and he's now an incredibly healthy and insanely smart 5 year old! 💚 7y
britt_brooke @CuriousG Thank you so much! ☺️ He was so resilient and recovered amazingly. His problem was fixed with that one major operation and he's now a healthy, incredibly smart 5 year old! 💚 7y

Currey What a frightening episode, so glad everything is now okay. And scars make your body more interesting! 7y
daena What a strong little guy he is 💚 7y
Johanna414 I have a friend with two little boys and they both had craniosynostosis. So scary! But isn't it amazing to see how quickly children bounce back sometimes? I'm happy your little guy is doing so well now 7y
Avanders So happy to hear all is well now! 💖💖💖 7y
britt_brooke @Currey They always provide interesting stories! After his surgery, he had a onesie that read "chicks dig scars." ? 7y
britt_brooke @Johanna414 Wow, I can't imagine both having it. 😔 Supposedly there's nothing to prove it's hereditary, but that proves it to me. Are they both doing well? 7y
saresmoore My goodness, you are a strong mama! ♥️♥️♥️ 7y
britt_brooke @saresmoore Thank you, sweetie! ☺️? We're so fortunate that he was "fixed" with one surgery. Such a tough dude! 7y
erzascarletbookgasm He's a fighter and you're so strong! 💕 7y
britt_brooke @erzascarletbookgasm Thank you. ☺️💚 7y
MaureenMc I can't imagine how scary that must have been. So glad this story has a happy ending! 7y
Johanna414 @britt_brooke the older boy has some developmental delays but he is sweet, happy and healthy. The little one just had his first surgery about a week ago and is recovering really well! 7y
ScientistSam So glad your little one is now healthy and happy! 7y
britt_brooke @Johanna414 Oh good! 💚💚 We were very fortunate that our son was diagnosed at 4 months (we realized in retrospect this is why he couldn't go through the birth canal, tmi!). He never suffered from any delays or any discomfort according to his doctors. So thankful for his pediatrician for noticing, as it often goes undiagnosed. 7y
britt_brooke @MaureenMc @ScientistSam Thank you so much! ☺️💚 7y
Caroline2 That must have been so scary for you all! So glad to hear he recovered! ❤️ 7y
Kalalalatja It continues to amaze me what modern science can do, but even more how resillient babies are. I am glad you are all okay now, it must have been so tough! 💙💙 7y
