Julianna's 2nd Craniosynostosis surgery-Day 1

Julianna in recovery right after surgery



We are actually on day 2 of recovery but the internet has been down due to tornadoes and bad weather.  I had a post all written out and my internet went off and I lost everything.  :(  Julianna had her surgery yesterday morning and it lasted 3 1/2 hours.  She was stable throughout the entire procedure.  Dr. Kelly was able to use 2 of her rib bones as grafts for her forehead and eye brow and then he used a plate to cover up the hole on the left side.  She was running a fever on and off all day and got really red at one point.  She wanted to get up out of bed and then realized that it hurt when she moved.  :(   For the most part she slept all day and into the night doped up on strong pain medicine.
