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.

Riley Recovery Update 1.10.06

Riley was in surgery at this exact time, 1 week ago today. He's doing well and sleeping a little better than the past few days. He still is struggling with a pretty bad gas problem, and still runs a fever every few hours. Other than that, he's a happy boy!! All smiles! Our good friend, Becky, came to visit this morning. She's the first one of my friends who has seen Riley since we've been home! It was nice to have a visitor! Thanks to everyone who is bringing us meals this week, and to my friend, Tara, who actually drove out to LA to visit us while we were in the midst of it all! Thanks T.

I don't know what we'd do without community. That's what I'm thanking God for today.
Here are some pictures of Riley on the 1 week anniversary of his surgery!
