Landon was born on February 25th 2011. Exactly 1 month after his birth we found out Landon has a condition called craniosynostosis. Babies are born with separations in their skull bones, this allows for the head to be able to squish through the birth canal and later to allow the brain to grow and develop. These bones normally fuse together around 12-18 months of age. In Landon's case one of these bones is beginning to fuse early.

Best news!!!
We received the best news today!! We had our appointment early this morning. The doctor we saw does not beleive Landon's lambdoid suture is fusing... he is not too concerned about his head being fused at all. He said there may be a slight chance it is fused or fusing at his sagittal suture because of the shape of his head. If this is the case he will need surgery and helmet therapy after. As of right now he said he does not feel he will have any issues and wants to see Landon back on May 17th just to double check and see where he's at. He also remarked there is no harm done wait until then even if it is fused. We are happy with this news!! What a releif!!!! Now I can really enjoy the little guy and not worry so much!!! We will continue to keep everyone posted....
