I have decided to enter the blogging world to keep family and friends updated on our journey. I have found strength in others' blogs about their Dandy-Walker experience, and I hope to help others.

Praising God!
Ian's appointment went very well yesterday. Dr. P is extremely pleased with everything so far. His head circumference is measuring just as it should for his age. This along with the head ultrasound showed that hydrocephalus hasn't set it. It could happen at any point in life, but Dr. P said that in all likelihood if it is going to happen, the first three months are the most critical time period. He wants to see us back in a month. Scheduling that is going to be fun. Joe and I both feel that we won't see Dr. P many more times before he fully retires, and as sad as I will be about that, I know that God sent him to us just when we needed him. I still tear up and if I let myself I'd sob thinking back to those dark days in January. Dr. P was my sunshine. Ian will be one month tomorrow. He is so sweet. He loves belly time and raises his head super high and can even turn it from side to side with work! I could go on and on about him. Still living life one day at a time and loving every minute with him! Thank you God for my special gift, and thank you friends for all the prayers.

Appointment rescheduled
Ian's neurology appointment has been rescheduled for June 22. I hope everything is okay inside of that tiny head of his. Probably won't be much to say until then. I actually hope there isn't! Prayers and hope till then.

Appointment coming up
Due to scheduling conflicts, we head to Children's this week for Ian's first head ultrasound and neuro consult. I am a little frustrated because I was happy with the appointment set for the end of the month. I feel it's too soon from his MRI, but we'll see how it goes. I have been told that Dr. P is one of the best pediatric neurologists in the country; I believe it, too. But, he's semiretired, so appointments could get tricky. We have been so blessed that he was available to see us during our pregnancy. As I have said before, I thank God for him. Ian is doing well. I stare into his eyes and sing to him and talk to him all day long. I do wonder if he sees me and hears me, but there's no reason to think he isn't. He's super sweet, and I am partial, but I must say he's a cutie! I am enjoying our days and falling more and more in love! I have pushed myself physically and will be spending a few days in bed. Prayers that his head ultrasound looks great and we aren't facing fluid build up. Thanks!
