 I often tell my patients when they're old enough, you and I are going to have a bond because we've been through something that no other true human beings have gone through. That creates, to me, a kinship. Marcel suffered from a problem called craniocenostosis. And that is a premature closure of the plates of the skull. Because he had restriction of growth in the forehead, the forehead was really narrow like a triangle. The developing brain needs space. And if you put pressure on the developing brain, it could affect the development of the brain. It could affect the IQ. It was an extremely complex procedure that involves removing almost three quarters of the entire skull and then putting it back together. Dr. Daniels came out of nowhere. The way that he talked through the whole procedure, he just made us feel comfortable. You become a really important part of their life. We become really, really close. It's like adding family members. The future for Marcel is bright. He went through the surgery like a champ. He's doing well. He's developing normally. He barely has an incision. I believe families begin to understand the more you interact with your child, that I'm going to care for your child the same way I would care for my own child. As soon as we walk in, they knew who we were before we even said anything. It wasn't just a doctor, it was family. I came to the idea of being a pediatric neurosurgeon because I love kids so much. I'm going to go in and I'm going to give my all to every single case.
