whipping cream

Crepes for dinner. Yummy. The first round was triple cream brie and asparagus. The second round was cooked apples and whipping cream. Isaac loves the mixers and he's pretty good with them too.

finding our way

Yesterday we took Isaac to the neurosurgeon on the advice of our pediatrician. His head continues to be large and his body to be small. We saw the same neurosurgeon last year and he recommended waiting to see how Isaac grew. On this visit he was less interested in waiting and more interested in finding answers and making decisions. Isaac's brain and development continue to be fine, but just the disproportionate size of his head is a concern. There's two ideas about why Isaac's head is large. He might slowly be building up fluid and need a shunt to help with drainage. Or because Isaac is a small boy, he might have a form of dwarfism in which case his head is going to be large when compared to his body. Either way Isaac will be fine, but it's time to move forward on this medical journey. Our geneticist hasn't been able to lead us to any answers. So, we were lucky enough to find a geneticist in Madison who specializes in diagnosing cases like Isaac's. This doc has looked at a lot of children at the same crossroads as Isaac and has made the call between hydrocephalus and dwarfism. We've sent off all of his medical records and some pictures. They hope to have answers for us within a few weeks.

Here are some cute pictures of our sweet boy from recent days.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We are hopeful. We count Isaac's good care and your support among our blessings.

Happy Birthday!
