One left to go

Parker had another appointment with his craniologist today. We have been seeing him for about a year now. It was just another check up to make sure everything with his skull is going well. He told us that things are still going well and that he is pleased with the use of physical therapy to treat his skull instead of using a corrective helmet. He called it a "small miracle". The doctor was so pleased that he was showing his colleagues Parker's progress. He is pretty sure that he will not need surgery, but will wait until his appointment in four months to decide that. He thinks the appointment in four months will be his last appointment with him. We just have to keep doing his physical therapy.

When he was about 2 months old we found out that he has something wrong with his neck muscles that made it so he couldn't turn head both ways so it started getting uneven. They were also worried about the plates in his head getting fused together too early so his head would stop growing. If that happened they would have to break them to let his brain grow. But now everything is good!

yeah for Parker and his big ol' head! More room for brains, right? Seriously, I am so happy for you, and him. I can't even imagine-as a mom- my child having to have his skull cracked! So again yeah for Parker! Hey what's the deal with Stephen's graduation? Email me
