Not CRANIO!!

[Karasmommy]

Well we finally got to see a neurologist and a neurosurgeon and had a CT done, the CT showed that she either has microcephaly or cerebral atrophy and neither are related to cranio. So, it's good news in a way, but now we face a whole different avenue of problems. If it's microcephaly then she will be developmentally and mentally delayed because of the area where the brain is under developed, if it's cerebral atrophy we were told the rate at which it's happening she has a 15% chance of making it to five years old. To be honest, I would have taken cranio because I know it can be fixed.

You are some strong women and I admire your strength and dedication to your families and children, stay that way, if we don't fight for our kids, no one else will either. It's because of the support I received from you ladies that I pushed for her to be seen, and it's a good thing I did. Thank you all so very much!:hugg :hugg

OMG Leci....my heart is breaking for you. I pray to god it's not cerebral atrophy. When do you find out exactly what it is?
I think that this place is such a srong support system for some many of us, and it makes us stronger. I know for a fact that I couldn't have gone through the surgery without all of you. Were here for you Leci. :hugg :hugg

I really appreciate the support. She is scheduled for an MRI next Tuesday and we should have the results in a day or two, so by the latest next Friday. Her metopic suture is fused but not due to cranio, it's due to the lack of brain growth in her frontal lobes. The doctors feel like her other sutures may be beginning to fuse as well, but all will be seen and told when the MRI gets done.

Please let us know when you know the results. I just cant possibly imagine what you are going through. I will be praying & praying for your little Kara xx

Sam (Pocket's mom), mentioned atrophy in one of her latests posts, maybe you guys could compare notes? Maybe there are other possibilities?
