Meeting the Bennett's

The thing we were looking forward to the most on that first day in Dallas was meeting the Bennett's.  I met Kari Bennett through a craniosynostosis support forum called CranioKids.  It has mom's (and dad's) from all over the world who can connect and share their stories and offer support and advice.  Kari's son Robby is 3 weeks younger than the boys.  He too suffers from metopic synostosis with trigonocephaly.  We formed an even closer friendship when we discovered that our sons' surgeries were scheduled with the same team on the same day.  Robby's surgery was in the morning and Joey's was in the afternoon.
We decided to stay at the same hotel so that we could be there for each other as much as possible.  It was such a relief!
