    I just emailed the link to my local ABC station saying I would love to see that or something similar air in our community. Maybe Sophie will be on TV?

    Did you notice the Father had sagittal cranio too??? He looked great! He didn't appear to have any syndromes either. What are the chances are of having a single suture cranio child when you have cranio without a syndrome? I'm just wondering this for our children's sake? I don't know that Dr's know, but I thought I'd put it out there...


    Sagittal surgery - 02/26/2009

    Second surgery suggested to correct a bump on the head and fill in soft spots.

    He looked really good I thought. It was my understanding even without a syndrome that once cranio appears in a child then they have a 50/50 chance of passing it on. I might be wrong but thats what I always thought.

    OK I have been inspired......
    I just sent an email to the Doctor that does medical segments on our local NBC station. I told him our story, about CK and CAPPS, and even added the link to Andrew's video. What the heck, it can't hurt to try to get the word out around here.
    He works out of the same hospital as our pedi and does news segments on the side. I am not holding my breath for a response, but it was worth a shot.
