Healing Progress and Pictures

Mason is just over 2 months old and I realized it’s been a while since I have shared pictures of his healing progress.  The last post showed pictures a month agoHere is his back 3.5 days after surgery.  And here is his back before surgery with the open spine. 100_8425Here is his head incision today.  This is where the VP Shunt was placed.100_8430Here is his belly, where the tubing for the shunt ends in his abdomen. 100_8428Here is Mason’s back.  This is where the doctors covered his spinal cord and closed things up.  It’s healed really well too.100_8415Mason was doing some tummy time and he is working hard on strengthening those neck muscles. 

One last picture.  This was taken yesterday.  100_8412All my children from left to right in age order: Makayla 10, Joseph 7, Emma 6, Daniel 4, Oliver 3, Caleb 1, Mason 2 months.

  2. You're doing such a wonderful job of caring for Mason and advocating for him. :) And you're still pulling together your own curriculum plans? You're amazing! :)
