 Topic: certainly not the best news I ever heard
Posted: 24 May 2019 at 9:32pm |

My newest grandson (four months old) had an appointment yesterday for what we thought was to get measured up for one of those helmets that you see more and more babies wearing now a days to properly shape their heads. Well, the doctor found things a little more serious than just requiring a helmet. The poor little fella is going to have to go to Mayo clinic at Rochester and probably go under a surgery on his skull to fix some stuff. Something to do with some growth plates on the skull closing up before they're supposed to be closing, and therefore won't allow his brain to continue growing. I am very glad that they are able to fix such stuff, but I am also worrying myself sick for the little guy. We all love him so much and can't fathom that he'll have to go through this. We'll do everything in our power and leave the rest in God's hands. Darrel

Hope things go well with your grandson. There is so much they don't understand at a young age like that,and you find yourself wishing you could take their place. Give him all the love you can.

Darrel, he’s going to the place where miracles happen, he’s a young pup, won’t remember any of this later,
It’s us Dads and grandpas that worry and hurt, my brother is a retired doctor, he has always said the Mayo is the Disney World of the medicine world, truly a place of magic! He and you all will be in our prayers!,

I work around medical labs most every day, it's amazing the things they do. Twenty years ago this would have never been detected in time if at all. That doesn't make it any easier to go through but prayers from us and glad they found it.

Wishing the best for him Darrel. My cousin's son had the same sort of thing done 20 years ago in Rochester. Best doctor's on earth hang out there.

Prayers from here for complete healing. Modern medicine can do amazing things but God is the Great Physician and the Author of all healing. At times like this we have to trust in Him and depend on Him to get us through.

He's still at home. With memorial day weekend, they are still waiting on the call from Rochester to give them the appointment date. I am pretty sure that they will get the call tomorrow, and probably be on the way shortly thereafter. The little guy really doesn't know that he has anything wrong with him yet. I guess that if something doesn't get done, then his brain won't have room to grow, and will result in brain damage. I'll keep you all posted on what happens. Thanks again. Darrel
