Sick Baby

We went to the doctor yesterday and discovered Brody has a full blown infection in his right ear, and a red left ear full of fluid. And doc said his gums were really swollen due to teething. So as for right now, baby boy is not feeling to sporty. I finally got him down for a nap, but there's no telling how long he will sleep. I'll be glad for the day when he can tell me whats hurting. I feel bad that I let it get so bad, but it was hard to tell if it was his ears or teething because he really never ran a fever.

Another note from the doctor is that he wants a CT done on Brody's head. He measured his head and it is growing pretty fast, not always a bad thing. (My head had pretty much stopped growing at this point due to craniosynostenosis, so it looks like we are in the clear for that as of now.) But doc said his fontanel was fuller than he'd like. His head kind of bulges at the top and is tight. If that makes any sense. He wants to rule out hydrocephalus, which I also had and is a symptom of Phieffers Syndrome, which he does have. Doc is going to call our ped. neurosurgeon that I still see and see if there is a just cause for him to have another scan. I really think he's being overly cautious just because of my history, but I'd rather him be that way instead of finding out in 6 months before things got really bad. And Brody can't really tell us what's wrong, when I, at 16, could say "My head hurts".

So...just keep him in your prayers. I'll keep everyone posted if we do end up having a scan done. But for now, the house is quiet, he's finally asleep, and I think I may go try to do the same!
