It's back

This week has been frustrating...we had a neurologist appt and basically he said that Jadon needed another helmet for his face asymmetry.  I was hurt and confused.  We knew he needed his rt forehead to pop out, but we thought it could do it on it's own.  So, I finally called the orthotist, and he said to come on in and see what we can do with his old helmet.  After a lot of foam removed, we got it to fit...for now. 

It was such a hard decision.  It's cosmetic, and we have no idea how much it would improve on its own.  We didn't think it was too bad...mainly noticeable in a mirror.  We found out that in severe cases there was a chance that he could have depth perception issues, tmj, and have a hard time finding a pair of glasses to fit if we left it.  We had to choose what was best for our baby.  In no way did I want to look back and say, I wish we would have tried everything.  Now we will be able to say that. 

So...there you have it.  Now I'm really praying we don't add a hip brace in the end of July.  Seems like we are slipping backwards and it's easy to have a pitty party.  I waited HOW long for this baby and I have to deal with all this?  But then I hear myself say, but look how many parents don't leave the hospital with a baby...look how many wish that these were there babies only issues.  I then humbly bow my head and say...Lord, your will be done.  You have already proved your plans are better than mine and your timing is best.  Forgive me for not trusting in you and focusing on myself rather than You.   Thank you for the beautiful gift you gave Dave and I...we are so blessed.
