Some of you guys have been keeping up with our friends the Poages (www.peanutpoage.blogspot.com).I received a call from Stephanie this afternoon after a routine doctors appointment for Avery (who is now 7 months old). The doctors are concerned that the circumference of Avery's head is larger than it should be at her age and based on her weight. For those of you who understand the percentile structure...Avery is 50th% length, 10th% weight, and off the charts for her age group in head circumference. They will be doing a sonogram on Monday 4/30. The have also scheduled a MRI on May 9th. The doctor is thinking that it could be "hydrocephalus" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocephalus, which is a swelling of the brain due to fluid retention (if anyone can explain it better PLEASE feel free to reply to this email!). There are other possibilities of a tumor, growth, or just a larger head. Let's offer as many prayers as we can for the Poages. For peace, for the doctors, and for Avery as she endures these procedures. I think they are all a little overwhelmed and scared right now. I will update the blog with any information as we receive news.
