According to Dr. Adetayo, the combination of the conditions limits the skull's ability to grow. When the bones fuse early, the skull stops growing in those areas, and over time, it puts extra pressure on the brain growth, leading to early developmental delays in otherwise normal children like Mathís. It is even more common in a case like Mathís where the head shape looks normal because there is not enough compensation at other sutures, which is called normocephalic craniosynostosis.
Eli Vasquez is a happy 1-year-old who loves to talk, giggle and smile. For parents Andy and Nichole, watching their son grow and reach his developmental milestones - like rolling on his tummy and lifting his head - were exciting moments for them. When Eli was around 2 months old, the Vasquezes noticed their son had a flat spot on his head that seemed to be increasingly noticeable.
"His flat spot was big, and he was not interested in spending time on his tummy," said Nichole. "If we put him on his tummy, he got angry. He also would not turn his head to the left. When we tried to turn it, he would resist. When Eli was 4 months old, he was diagnosed with torticollis and plagiocephaly."

John Paul Mattson was born with a hernia. In 1948, at nearly 7 years old, he became the first child admitted to Omaha's brand new medical facility, Children's Memorial Hospital. His hernia surgery was a success - the first of many successes for what would go on to become Children's Nebraska.
Ten years later, John returned to Children's with a ruptured appendix that almost took his life. His treatment was successful, and he eventually graduated from Omaha's Westside High School and Northwestern University. John Mattson is now a father and grandfather who says, "I'm here because of Children's."

Orlando Pantoja describe their fourth child, Bellamy, as a happy little boy who enjoys being the center of attention. He loves to wave his arms and hands in the air, giggle at his siblings and crawl across the room. For the Pantojas, these milestones mean everything. When Bellamy was born, he could not move his left arm and hand.
"I knew Bellamy was a strong-willed baby from the moment I carried him," said Dulce. Unlike my [first] three pregnancies, I had a tough time delivering him. On the day of my induction, I began dilating, which was a good sign that the baby was almost here. But as I kept pushing and pushing, Bellamy just didn't want to come out. Before the next contraction kicked in, my OB/GYN was able to pull the baby out safely."
