7 months & neuro appt

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Ian is now 7 months old, and he is doing something new each day. He continues to grow and develop normally. We may have had our last appointment with his pediatric neurologist today. He is extremely pleased with Ian's development. He marveled at how his posteria fossa isn't even enlarged. He believes we are way past the danger zone for hydrocephalus at least for now. He has met 60 year olds presenting hydrocephalus, but they can usually be treated relatively easily. Dr. Painter feels that if he brought us back anymore, it'd be just to say hello and that there's no reason to keep seeing neurology unless he starts vomitting without other reason, his vision becomes blurry or if he complains of headaches. When I think of the prognosis we were given by genetics doctors....well, I'm just not going to think about it. We are where we are, and I'll take it.
