Dylan V and his Jaw Distraction
Dylan is Kevin V’s son (and my first ever nephew!). Dylan was born with with Pierre Robin syndrome that left his chin pushed back and cutting off his airway, requiring a tracheotomy, a feeding tube, and lots of other difficulties.
After a trying two years, Dylan just got his surgery to fix his jaw. Or, rather, to start fixing his jaw. They’re inserting rods into the bones that are extended slightly every day to stretch out the jaw bones. Kev set up a blog, http://www.kjvis.blogspot.com/, to report on and monitor his progress. There’s also lots more details on Dylan’s condition and the surgery itself. So whether you are at all interested in the V family, or just want to watch SCIENCE in action, feel free to check it out. I got Kev’s OK to post this for everyone.
Also, I’ve already made the “it doesn’t look very distracting” joke, so don’t bother.
