Gabby's Journey Through Craniosynostosis

Less than 2 weeks


Less than 2 weeks to go and we have a double ear infection and a sinus infection. Ugh. Gabby had a fever for the past day or 2 and last night was up to 102.5. She has had a constant runny nose for the past few weeks too. I thought she had a sinus infection, but no, she has both ears to go along with it. I have been sanitizing the house, bath toys, regular toys, washing our hands like crazy, and she still is sick!


We have started our in house arrest- well Gabby is under house arrest, but if she cannot go out, Alex and I are pretty much stuck too. The doctors said to keep her away from people in the last few weeks to try to keep her healthy. I guess so far that has not mattered. She is on a 10 day course of antibiotics. This will bring us up to the appointment in Milwaukee. I spoke to a nurse down there today and as long as her ears are cleared up by then it should not be a problem. I just want her healthy so we do not have to postpone this any longer!! Each day the anxiety grows, and I just want her happy and healthy, and all done with this.

aaron had a really bad cold a week before his surgery and they also prescribed an antibiotic and decongestant. it worked and they cleared him for surgery. the anticipation is the hardest part. the one thing that always helped me is knowing that aaron really didn't know what was going on, and just took it like a champ. i also took comfort in knowing that what he had is correctable, and that he would never remember.

Hey Jodi! why is it that our kids get sick right before surgey? It happens to us all the time! UGH! Hang in there mama!

Sorry I am so slow at getting the package out. I am trying to get Carson medical stuff under control and we just switch neurosurgeons.

Its be a long few week!

Hang in there.

I think it's a good sign that Gabby's sick now. She'll be healthy in time for surgery, and soon this will all be behind you. Visualize the other side - surgery's over, enjoying life. You will all be there soon, and we'll all be there with you.

Take care - let us know if you need anything!
