And just nine weeks after their babies’ birth, first-time parents Amy and Michael Howard watched their three boys undergo corrective head surgery. Craniosynostosis, a congential premature fusion of one or more sutures on a baby’s skull that threatens vision and brain growth. The surgery is believed to be the first-ever performed on triplets and involves releasing the prematurely closed suture via two small incisions. For Hunter and Jackson, who are identical, the procedure corrected their Sagittal Synostosis, which is the most common form of Craniosynostosis. Their fraternal sibling, Kaden, underwent the procedure to address his Metopic Synostosis, which can result in a triangular-shaped forehead.
