Thank You for Your Prayers!!

Andrew is doing fine, the appointment went very well. The specialist did not sound worried and said that all we can do for now is to watch Andy. The lump he has is in between the two veins that pump blood to and from the brain and right now is kind of pushing them apart. But there really is nothing they can or want to do as long as it is not causing any obstruction to the veins. The specialist thinks that the reason that it has grown is because he is a baby and everything in his body is being told to grow. So he will be going in for another MRI when he is a year old and we will see if it has grown more than it should have according to how much he has grown.

They have only found 10 other cases like this in babies, more in adults, the reason for this is most likely because not a lot of babies have MRIs done, but in both babies and adults they do not want to do surgery unless it would for sure be worth it. The most common symptoms of this growth are head aches, dizziness, fainting and in the worst case a stroke, so not until any of these symptoms get really bad do they do anything.

So we really don't know anything more than we did before the appointment other than to watch Andrew closely and to keep praying. we are so thankful that so far it is nothing serious and we can only pray that God's will is going to be done in his life and in ours!
