Update on Jonathan

We met with the pediatric neurologist on Thursday, and came away with a wider range of options and some good news too! The good part is his head is measuring around the 50th percentile which means there is a lowered chance of him being born with hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus can lead to extreme pressure on parts of the brain, complicating any existing issues. The widening of the range of options is either good news or not, because it means there is a greater chance he will never show any symptoms of the abnormality and a greater chance it could be something more serious. We won't get any more news on that front until he is born. They will take him in for an MRI soon after he is born, which will give use more information. The scariest part for us is that infants have to be sedated for an MRI because they can't stay still on their own. As you can tell, there is still a HUGE need for prayer for all of us. The neurologist was great, though. He took the time to help us understand and feel comfortable with the process and answered all our questions thoughtfully and carefully. I met with my OB on Monday and decided he is not the doctor for me so the hunt for a new one is on! Hopefully I can get my original OB office to pull some strings and get me into the high risk practice soon! Thank you all for your support and caring as we go through these last 4 weeks. As we have said many times so far, this is God's way of reminding Chris and I that He is in charge of Jonathan's life, not us and we are just going to have to trust that He knows what He is doing!
