Well, if the same thing happened to me, I'd feel sad that my baby had to
go through surgery, but glad that it wasn't worse, I guess. That sure is a
disturbing image conjured up by the last line of the story. I'm sure I'd
still take pictures of my child, though!!


They say that they will use a bone from another part of her body to close
off her skull. I wonder why they don't use the skull from the head they're
taking off. It looks like it should have bone, at least from the photo.

I don't know what I'd really do in her parents' shoes. I do know I didn't
immediately feel a bond with DS when he was born. I hear that's normal. If
my child had two heads, it might freak me out too much and take me much
longer to develop a bond. The second head moving its mouth while I was
nursing would really bother me.
