Hi Amy,
I hope this finds you feeling better, after reading all these supportive posts. Yep, it does take quite a while to recuperate from the BRAIN SURGERY itself,and the little surprises that come with it-up to a year even. They don't mention that preop usually >:(
It's one day at a time, before you know it, you'll be looking back and seeing how you are improving.
Heck, with that little darling baby at home, you probably have the postpartem stuff still going on,along with major brain surgery.  :o
THAT is a full time job in itself. I can't imagine going through both.
Enjoy your snuggles with your baby and in time you will notice improvement in the facial stuff. It is a slow road, and patience is a virtue.
Let us know how things continue to go. We are rooting for you!
