Hey everyone. Thank you so much for your calls, emails and prayers. We met with Dr. Vicari in Chicago today and we are cancelling the surgery for next week. Wahhoooo!!!
While he did say they have cranio, and that the surgery is justified, it is not something he would normally do unless the childs orbits(eye sockets) are also more involved- he feels that her ridge will likely improve over time and would like to see her again for some fairly minor plastic surgery to reduce the ridge.
We are very very relieved and feel like this was a "God" thing so we are confident in this decision. He also feels like Leah will also likely improve with time and serious surgery may possibly be avoided with her. What I love about Dr. Vicari is how much he observed Lily and considered the family history in his decision. He treated her as a healthy beautiful little girl with a metopic ridge- not like another cranio case. It was definitely worth the trip to see him. We are planning on switching to Anthem at the new year so that we can work only with him in the future.
