GOOD NEWS!

Whew!! Well, after Caroline had her ultrasound yesterday, we heard from the doctor and her brain is good!!! Thank God! No, seriously, Thank GOD!!!

Just the thought of her having to go through what I did as a baby was almost too much!

We go back in a few months for another head measurement and there's a possibility for another xray and maybe a helmet - but nothing's for sure just yet.

thank you for the prayers - we very much appreciate the love and support!

Asking for prayers

Yesterday Caroline saw the doctor for her 4 month visit. She's still in the 90's for head, length and weight. However, the doctor is concerned about the size of her head and the continued growth. She took another jump from last month in size. Given my history (having hydrocephalus as a baby), she wants to do an ultrasound over her soft spot to make sure everything is ok.

Despite the fact that this condition is rarely hereditary, I'm a little bit paralyzed until we find out more. I'm asking for prayers that when we do the ultrasound, everything checks out as normal. I've been praying for peace until we know more - but it's in my nature to worry incessantly.

Deep down, I really feel like everything is fine. She's the baby of two parents with above average heads. Even still, we need prayers. I do not want her to have to be sedated for more testing.

We hope to go to childrens for the scan tomorrow - but will know for sure today.

much love,
Jessica
