Dodged a bullet

Yesterday we had quite a scare. Easton's helmet doctor called and told us that when he sent his head scan in to the helmet makers they called him back with some concerns. They wondered if Easton had been evaluated for craniosynostosis yet (he had not). Craniosynostosis is where the plates of the skull start to close prematurely and can cause head deformities and interfere with brain development. The only treatment is surgery. So the doctor told us to get a skull x-ray as soon as possible to check. We went to the South Pavilion and they took about 5 x-rays of his head and told us we would have the results in 3-5 days. That was upsetting. Our doctor had told us we would know the next day. After a sleepless night, I heard from the pediatrician's office today that his x-rays were normal. Thank God. Finally, some good news. Thanks to everyone who has expressed their concern for Easton and for all of the prayers. It helps to know so many people are here to support us. We're hanging in there!
