Quick update - Neurosurgeon follow up

We are delighted to report that we just saw the neurosurgeon, Dr. Andrew Reisner, at CHOA and Finn is good to go for a year!! Hooray!! He will continue to see the plastic surgeon every 3-6 months to make sure things are aesthetically correct but no neuro visits until 2014! (I am kind of sad as I adore Dr. Reisner but if I really miss him, i'll write him a letter.)

We have to keep an eye on him physically and developmentally but will only need to bring him in if there is cause for concern. He will be monitored yearly until the age of 5 to make sure all of the "holes" in his skull are closing. We can examine him for holes simply by feeling his head. But they will most likely do a 2nd CT scan at 5 years to ensure everything is as should be.

We are so proud of our little warrior and couldn't have asked for a better Christmas gift.
