Yes, i did see this, and yes, you are correct. It was craniosynostosis

surgery. The front fontinel was fused in utero.

Hi all:

Kind of OT here, but I only caught bits & pieces of tonite's 9:00 pm

Maternity Ward on TLC. It looked to me as though Baby Poncho was

having craniosynostosis surgery, but I never heard for sure. His

skull was severely misshapen at birth so they operated on him

immediately. He was born to a homeless mom.

I watched what I could handle of the actual surgery, wow, how sad.

They showed a lot of the surgery.

The post-op clips of him reminded me of Amy's son Max post cranio

surgery.

Wondering if anyone else saw this?

Thank you! I was almost positive it was cranio, but I missed his

birth and only saw him for a quick minute before his surgery, his

poor little skull was severely misshapen They said he'd need

additional surgeries in the years to come as well, which is common

with cranio patients as well. I hope he is doing well Poor

little fella :'(.

Thanks for letting me know!

I watched it! It was amazing! They did the surgery at 1 week old.

I felt so bad for the mother, and so happy all at the same time. It

was very humbling, in my opinion.

Dustie, mom to , casted for the 3rd time tomorrow.

I went to the TLC website to see when they would show it again because I was intrested in seeing it. Here it is for those of you that are intrested as well. I do not know if the viewing times would be the same for you.
