Photos of Quinn aged 12 to 17

In the 'zombie' photograph above (we had special permission to leave off Quinn's pressure garments and neck collar for just a few hours), you can see where the surgeons had cut through the contracted scar tissue on Quinn's neck and grafted more skin into the gap. It looks good here, but the scars contracted again, and Quinn had to have the same operation repeated early in the following year. The next photograph shows him in the hospital just after that operation.
