Waiting for Answers

In the last month since I posted we've had some unexpected news.  I'm not sure yet what to think of it since its the "wait and see" kind of news. 
Austin - we are still working to put some weight on him.  Hes had diarrhea off and on for the last 3 weeks.  We are hoping it clears up soon, but it sure isn't helping him gain weight.  If it doesn't go away soon then we will have to take him off soy.  If it clears up then we know it's his soy allergy coming back.  We have been praying that this isn't the case and that he just has a nasty virus!
Weston- We went to Weston's 2 month appointment.  They measured his head and said his head hadn't grown much since his 2 week appointment.  He went from being in the 90th percentile to the 60th.  He also has ridges on his head where the bones in his skull meet.  Our doctor said we need to watch his head growth over the next couple months.  If it continues to not grow very much then we will have to see a specialist because he may have a condition where the sutures in his head have prematurely fused together.  This would mean that his brain doesn't have enough room to grow and he would need surgery.  The other side of this is that his bones might just be overlapping right now and as his head grows the ridging will even out and he won't have a problem.  So, time will tell but we are staying optimistic that his head will grow and we won't have any problems.
