    Well-all is well! :banana: :a_smil09: :banana: :a_smil09: They basically could tell as soon as they saw him! :) The NP went over his CT scan he had done at 5 months-that was kinda cool to see. She said everything looked beautiful-fontenelles, sutures, etc. Sometimes the head is large due to the sutures closing early, but she said nope-they were still open. Beautiful.

    She did say the only thing she saw was a little fluid around the front-which is "normal" and should eventually be reabsorbed. So-she said the fluid, along with a family history(dh's side), that's what the cause is. She said he's doing everything within normal range, etc... We were pleased. Then the Chief of Neurosurgery came in and met with us. She basically went over what the NP did. She remeasured his head and in two months-it's "only" grown .5cm! Yahoo! Not over 2cm like before! She said that by 18 months, the size should start to level off, and it looks like it might already be going in that direction.

    We go back in 8 weeks to recheck the size-after that, as long as everything is normal-we are free to go! They did say of course if anything changed in his behavior, the head was bulging, etc.. to go to the ER, which I am not worried about.

    FINALLY-after 9 months of pregnancy, and 8 months of his short life Anthony has a CLEAN bill of health! YAY!!!! :a_smil09: :a_smil09: :banana: :banana:

    He will need surgery in September for hypospadias, but that's "nothing" now! ;)

    THANK YOU for all the thoughts and prayers! They are greatly appreciated!
