Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Hi All! Yesterday, when I searched the e-mail of a surgeon from Netherlands (Dr Vaandrager) I chanced on an interesting for me site www.craniofaciaal.com in the context of dealing with HFM. It is Netherlands, but there is a version in English too. beth, when you started with Josh's maxillo facials surgeries, had you already contacted Dr Brent and were he in contact with the maxillo facial surgeon?

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Hi ! Thanks for the link - I'm always interested in new info! We were not in contact with Dr. Brent when we started his surgeries, however, we were in constant contact with the Cheif of Plastic Surgery as he and the maxiofacial surgeon from Children's Hospital/Detroit performed all of Josh's surgeries together. The plastic surgeon wanted to make sure that none of the " ear reconstruction " area was affected so not to hinder future reconstruction. However, it did. So I would definitely encourage anyone to seek the opinion of a reconstruction expert prior to any other reconstructive surgery. I'm still searching for pictures to show you that will outline the differences of before and after. Take care!

I have asked Dr Brent for a name of maxillo facial surgeon who he works with, but I have no answer. I will tray again. The last week Bogdan has got a "photo session" - CT scans of the mandibula and condylar region, panoramique X-rays, photos of his bite and s.o. I'm very proud of him - he was wonderful! Very patient and he never budged the whole time! Even they don't have sedated him for the CT scans! He is larky, but he is very sensible and when he has to present himself he do it. In Bulgarian there is a proverb - "My little crow is the prettiest!" šI have braggedJ! Love, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
