Riley's Diagnosis

Riley James Faiai is my 2 year old son who was born with Craniosynostosis and probable Pfeiffer syndrome. When he was 5 months old, Riley had surgery to reconstruct his skull. This blog is the journal, story, and timeline that has helped me put Riley's Journey into words.

Riley's Up Coming Appointment

Hey all!
Just wanted to let everyone know that Riley has an appointment with the dysmorphologist (pediatric geneticist) on Tuesday, October 16th @ 9:00am. At this appointment, Riley will have some blood testing done along with an extensive physical examination to determine if Riley's deformities are related to Pfeiffer Syndrome. We're praying that's not the case.

One more thing...
After some researching, we realized since Riley's condition is rare, his doctor visits and surgery may be financially covered through " SSA Disabilty for Children". We filled out all the necessary paperwork, so now we're just praying we get the green light for the funds. Pray about that if you think about it!

Thanks So Much!

You should get SSA! It is the least that our government can do; is honor our social service programs to someone really in need of them! Let me or Troy know if you need any help with the rigormoral of filing the papers, etc. Let us know if there is anything we can do...
