Magdalena's Surgery is Tomorrow

Magdalena's surgery will be tomorrow (US time) - Tues June 26. We have to be at OHSU at 6 am, so hopefully everything will be done around 1 pm.

Again - Magdalena was born with two of her skull plates fused together - a right coronal craniosynostosis (see CT scan below). She must have surgery ideally at 8-9 months (she is 8.5 months now) to separate them in order to prevent likely brain damage once her brain starts growing very quickly around age 1-2.

We will post updates here and I'll try to put a note on Facebook and/or Google Buzz as well. Thanks again to everyone for your continued thoughts, messages, and prayers.
Magdalena's CT scan from last January - you can see the scar from where her plates fused together prematurely on her right, whereas her left is still open:
