Stewie Griffin joke? Really? Not funny at all. From a father of two boys, stuff like that is really scary *****.
D-minus on the thread name, no biggie if he actually recovers and doesn't grow up to be near vegitative. Seems like very borrowed time, wonder if the hospital may overrule neuro chief and just not operate like the others.
Severe hydrocephalus also causes brain damage, FWIW. This is a very sad thing for this child, much more than just a funny looking head. The plates of a baby's skull aren't fused. They expand and grow into the size. The brain, however, gets pushed apart and smeared along the inner edge of the skull. In severe cases, you wouldn't recognize it as a brain.
WTF man.... When it comes to kids that is a ****@#@ no no in my book to make fun of... As a father of 5 I can't even imagine what they are going through.. That is some very sad stuff right there..
uhhh the thread title is not appropriate at all and for you to roll your eyes to the responses makes you a douche bag.
This from the guy who has a boner that could destroy the universe. ....whatever Change the title....but the poor kids head reminded me of Stewie Griffin.
It depends on what you mean by "complete," but yes, to answer your question. The suture lines are not fused and the head is mostly cartilage. The suture lines close and the cartilage becomes bone as they age.
