Craniosynostosis


Traci took the boys in to the doctor yesterday. It seems that our boys have a bad case of Pink Eye. While she was there, she asked the doctor about Jacobs head. There is a lump on each side of his head, and the doctor was pretty sure he has Craniosynostosis. He had us scheduled for a Head CT Scan on March 8th. Worst case scenario, he will have to have surgery. Best case scenario, he'll have to wear a helmet for a year or so. We are pretty worried about him. He seems to be doing good right now though. He loves baths, balls, and being chased around the house. He especially loves Bailey, our dog. I saw him grab her fur yesterday, and she took off- with him holding on... It was pretty funny to see him get dragged across the floor by a little dog. She sure is patient with him. He seems to torment her whenever he is awake. I don't blame her for sitting up on the couch away from his reach. We appreciate everyones support and conern. We will keep everyone posted as soon as we find out.

I know a couple that lived in our ward had a baby that had this also. The baby had surgery and I think everything was fine afterward. I hope everything goes well with Jacob!
