updates for family and friends about our daughter's craniofacial surgery
Amelia's Story
In March 2007 our daughter was born with a medical condition called "craniosynostosis" in which the front suture of her skull was prematurely fused. This required her to have a cranial vault reconstruction at six months of age, in September of 2007.
The purpose of this blog was to share our journey with friends and family and it was such a gift to be connected to everyone in the midst of her surgery and recovery. Amelia is doing wonderfully now, and we are so thankful to the Lord for His great faithfulness through her surgery and beyond.
Thanks for reading her story! Since the blog is in reverse chronological order, it may help to click on the links below.
If you are a friend or family member who would like access to our private family blog, please email me and I'll send you an invitation.

There are no words adequate for my joy that Amelia is safe at home. God has been powerfully and lovingly present for her and for both of you throughout this ordeal. I am deeply grateful to God, and extremely proud of you, for seeing Amelia through these difficult days. May God now bless all of you with LOTS of rest.
Much love,
Dad
Great Pictures!! We all prayed for Amelia today in the "Ducklings Class" at preschool. I am so happy for you and I know you are thrilled to be home together with all your sweet family! I know that God will continue to bless Amelia and all of you during this time of healing.

As I thank God for bringing sweet Amelia through surgery and now home, I also thank Him for her Mommy and Daddy who allowed us to walk with them through the entire journey, leading up to and including the surgery.
God's faithfulness and your vulnerability through it have ministered to so many. Thank you.
