This week Indigo was diagnosed with craniosynostosis. It is the early closure of one or more of the sutures in the skull. She has the most common type: sagittal craniosynostosis. The sagittal suture (the one on top of the head) is fused and must be opened with surgery.

We are slowly taking in what this means for our family. Her surgery will likely happen within the month & she will have to wear a helmet for the next year.
Our move to Cairo will happen next Friday. We're trying to focus on the present & just take things one day at a time. Please keep us in your thoughts.
