She is such a trooper and I'm sure that when the time comes for cranial reconstruction she'll pull through like the strong girl she is. And when she is 16 and going to her first dance, she will be so thankful that she is perfect in every way!Cristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117714569632006312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906621410106004328.post-14634072939085940412011-06-22T14:13:41.378-07:002011-06-22T14:13:41.378-07:00Hi there.

I've been following your story for a few months now, and I just had to share something that just happened. I was reading this current post, and looking at Scarlett's adorable picture when my 9 year old glanced at the computer screen and gasped and said "Oh my gosh, what happened?" So I explained that the little baby in the picture had brain cancer, and the surgery that she had to have caused her head to be that odd shape, etc.. Well, when I finished my little explanation, he said "Yeah, ok.. but I was just wondering why she needed a feeding tube". Leave it to a child to see past the deformity and be concerned about the feeding tube. I should also say that my son had an NG tube for a few months, and now has a g-tube (failure to thrive and other malabsorption and growth issues), so he is familiar with feeding tubes. I thought it was heartwarming that he was concerned more about why she needs a feeding tube than the appearance of little Scarlett's head. <br /><br />Prayers and good thoughts always going out to your family and that precious baby girl! :-)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615658144622660065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906621410106004328.post-29386861376150505642011-06-22T14:05:17.735-07:002011-06-22T14:05:17.735-07:00She has grown so much!

I know sometimes our motherly protective instincts battle with the rationale that "She'll be better off in the long run." But you seem to have an excellent group of doctors all coordinating to give Scarlett the best care with the best possible outcome. The Father's Day photo of Scarlett really showed the area where her skull is misshapen. I think it really gave us better insight into why you feel the need for hats and head-covers, if only to stop people from looking right past that beautiful face in front of the skull. Scarlett is adorable and you're doing a great thing.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02897704917971305988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906621410106004328.post-62779304330767864252011-06-22T09:27:57.847-07:002011-06-22T09:27:57.847-07:00Thinking about You, Chris and Scarlett daily.
