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. Browse around the archives and feel free to contact me for more info or support! -Lauren (lfaiai@gmail.com)

Settling in Back Home

I've met some awesome people through Riley's journey in the past year and a half. It's not often that I get to meet these people face to face! Well, today, that changed! Dawn is the mom of a sweet boy named Cole. Dawn emailed me months ago after reading my blog to let me know her son had the same syndrome Riley does (Pfeiffer) and we realized that she lived only a few miles from us!! We moved to NC, and were never able to connect, but when Dawn read we were moving back, she contacted me about arranging to meet, and today we made it happen!! We met at a sweet new park in Rancho San Diego. Dawn also arranged for Alicia to meet us for the play date. Alicia's son Dominick was featured in a news article a couple months ago. Dominick has Crouzons, which is a syndrome closely related to Pfeiffer. It was so awesome to be able to connect with other moms who have been through the same journey I have with Riley! We talked about our babies the whole time and they wore themselves out playing in the water and all over the playground! I'm looking forward to connecting with Dawn and Alicia again soon!

If your baby suffered a birth defect and you took Prozac® during pregnancy, you should consider consulting a birth injury lawyer. Some antidepressants may increase the risk of birth defects in children whose mothers take the medication while pregnant. For more information, contact our Prozac® birth injury attorneys.
