It's been a whole year since my ds' cranioplasty surgery. He was just six months old when they cut open his head, removed some bone to create a soft spot, and reshaped his skull. See, when he was born, he had no soft spot and his head was slightly misshapen. The surgery was necessary to ensure that his little brain would have room to grow properly. It was the scariest thing I've ever been through.
But now here we are, a year later, with a happy, healthy little boy who seemingly knows no fear. He's an active toddler, which means he falls and bumps his head more times than I would like. Just a week ago he bumped his head right on his zig-zag scar and it bled. Don't you know I was scared? I have become so jumpy and nervous about every little bump and fall. His uncle got him to watch a football game last Sunday. Little ds was studying the game intently and I, of course, told him in no uncertain terms not to get too interested because that was one game he wasn't ever going to play if I had anything to say about it. LOL!
But God has been so good and that's what I really wanted to say in this post. I can't praise Him enough for what He's done for our family since He brought this little hard-headed little boy into our life. I'm crying now so I'll just leave you with the hymn that is in my heart this morning. Please click on the link below and praise God with me today.
Praise God, From Whom All Blessings Flow

Posted by HomeSchooling4Jesus Your girls are gorgeous...what a blessed mama. May I ask, I'm just curious and confused....it's been 1 year, and his scar bleeds easily when bumped? I would be a nervous wreck!!
Editing to add: I should also say that ds' scar is not tiny. It is this HUGE zig-zag that goes across the top of his head all the way from one ear to the other. I'm actually surprised that he hasn't bumped the actual scar more times than just the one time last week!
