"Give thanks to Him and praise His name! For the Lord is good and His loves endures forever, His faithfulness continues through all generations." Psalm 100:4-5
We feel completely blessed in that today we received GREAT results back for two of BJ's major tests. The first was for the possible "premature" fusion of his skull. Although the records from Poland stated that everything came back negative our pediatrician wanted to make sure. She felt that his head was shaped odd enough, to warrant some concern to have it checked out. So we made an appointment with a cranialogist, had a CAT scan done and today found out that there is NOTHING wrong. In fact, the doctor said that his head shape was fairly normal and that it would eventually round out as BJ grew! He even said his bossing (protruding forehead) would even itself out over time. This is GREAT news!
Another test he had done was for his cardiologists (remember, the one who speaks Polish! :). In BJ's Polish records it read that he had some slight atrial flutters. So BJ had to wear a "halter" for 24 hours. I was rather upset about this because supposedly there is no such thing as a "child's halter." So BJ had cables 2 feet long waded up under his sleeper with a pack the size of a large cell phone attached to a belt around his waist. I felt so bad for the poor little guy, but he was a trooper. You would've never known he was all wired up. He never tried to pick at it and did not cry or fuss a bit. I was so proud of him! Anyway, his cardiologists called us today and said everything came back completely NORMAL! This is also great news because it means his heart is perfectly healthy. Is our GOD great or what?!
This is all such a relief! The Polish reports were 100% accurate! So why did we have to go through all this to figure that out? Oh well! At least we have peace of mind! Blessings to you all and enjoy this Christmas season! I know we will and BJ is just loving all the lights and will experience his first snow fall tomorrow. I'll post pictures soon!

Great news! t's a relief to have the tests over with, I'm sure. Can't wait for pics & stories of BJ's first Christmas home :-)
How wonderful, not to wait for those test results anymore. It also wonderful to know that the medical you got was accurate. (I'm glad Poland takes pride in this)
Great news! I can just imagine his joy at seeing the Christmas lights and decorations...
:)
YEAH!!!! It's so wonderful to read about all your great news. Merry Christmas!
Yeah!!! Wonderful!! His health reports make us SO happy! :) BJ will have a great Christmas - doesn't it have new meaning now? Klaudia saw the snow today and called it "bubbles" - It may be the same snow you see tomorrow!!
Such good news. I know you always wonder with all of the stories you hear.
We are finding our medicals correct as well. Alissa has an MRI tomorrow which requires sedation but the doctors just expect to see - what they expect to see.
Merry Christmas
Praise God and Congratulations on BJ's clear bill of health!
This is great news. Our son has a large forehead too. His doctors never commented on it, but am glad to hear that it may even itself out as he gets older. I can't wait to see pictures of BJ's first Christmas. He is going to love it!
Fantastic News!!!!! Isn't God awesome!
