Pictures of procedures and surgeries are here for others benefit and at Isaac's request, but be advised they are graphic!
The Links Below are some of the sites that help to explain what is going on with Isaac. They should also prove to be valuable resources for anyone who seeks more information about VATER.
Isaac is home after 3days of intensive care!!!
Isaac had back surgery on the 24th of August (Hilary's 13th birthday) He came home on the 29th. The surgery went very well and there is a picture of the incision. The trick now is to get him to lay flat for the rest of this week!!
The incision is on the right side due to juxti-cardial positioning
We added 3.5 inches to Isaac's left arm!!!
We had some success in reshaping Isaac's skull with a helmet.

I have really been informed and encouraged by the people here.
This is Angel Flights. They fly people around the country for medical appointments for free. If anyone needs transportation to anywhere for medical reasons please look at this site. If a Church is raising money to help someone to cover medical costs this is a great way to make every dollar count as the transportation costs are absorbed by Angel Flights. They will come to your Church or conference to speak about what they do. This Organization has been an awesome blessing to us. The Pilots are such nice people too. God Bless them.
