Thanks for reminding me, I need to watch last weeks episode, the surgeon that repaired my daughters spine when she was 26 hours old was on it..

It could have been so much worse... Our journey is documented in the parents of '09 thread, it was, and is, an eye opening experience, to the fragility of those things we truly hold dear..

Are we brave, courageous, strong? No, we're parents who love our children.. But yes, I guess all parents must be brave, courageous and strong..

How's Daisy? Making it her life's mission to prove medical professionals wrong.. She's a star..

Agreed, I get the shakes before I touch up stone chips, can't imagine the confidence and skill needed to seperate a child's face from their skull, reshape the skull, then put it all back together again ! BTW, did anyone see the start of last week's episode where they showed how these surgeons hone their skills? Showed one guy using what looked like a Dremel tool completely remove the shell from a hen's egg , but leave the inner membrane intact.
