Head shots
When I tell people about Mason's surgery, they often look at him and say "I think he looks fine, why would you do surgery?" It's true, he looks like the healthy, beautiful boy that he is, but here are a few photos to help you understand what we're talking about. It's easiest to see his head shape with wet hair, from a bird's eye view. Here are a few wet head photos taken recently that show the forehead and occipital bossing, as well as the elongated shape. One things for sure, he sure is one good-looking kid, funny noggin and all!
craniosynostosis (kray-ni-oh-sin-os-toh-sis) n. premature fusion of some of the cranial sutures, usually before birth, so that the skull is unable to expand in certain directions to assume its normal shape under the influence of the growing brain.
