Upon meeting the orthopedic Dr today to discuss the findings of the CT scan in 3D, we've walked away with the pretty certain knowledge that Reuben will need neck surgery to remove extra bones and deal with the fused bones in his neck. After that he'll wear a halo neck brace for 2-3 months which will be drilled into his skull for stability. This will be within the next 4-6 months to prevent worsening of his scoliosis and torticollis.

Feeling very uncomfortably numb.
Update: Candi Meadows (in CHARGE) put me in touch with this lovely family. I smiled when I saw her as he smile was shining through the halo. Gives me hope: Isabelle
