    Talking Laura's first post-op

    He is really pleased with her!

    It was actually quite funny. I was sat in the waiting room with Laura and I had her sat on the floor playing with some of the toys, and she was engrossed in them. The NS came out and called her in, and as I picked her up she gave him a really funny look.

    Then when we were sat down inside the consulting room and he felt her head, she started screaming and turned to me and put her arms around my neck. He joked that she remembered the power drill. Then when he said to her he wouldn't touch her head again, she took her head out of my neck, looked at him very solemnly and reached out to hold his finger.

    She's not even quite 7 months, she can't possibly understand, but she seemed to!

    Anyway all is well, her scar has healed well, her head shape is improving as he would expect.
