Neurology Update on Jude: Still Good

Over the past couple months, Jude's head size has grown at a faster rate than the rest of him, and he has sometimes displayed mild symptoms of hydrocephalus (which could just as easily be normal baby things, except for the "sunsetting eyes"). Given his history, the pediatrician thought it best to have him checked again by the neurologist, even though Jude had previously "graduated" from neurology. So we went in for a cranial ultrasound last Friday and had an appointment with the neurologist yesterday. The news is still good: Jude again got the "all clear." His ventricles are still on the high side of normal, but he is otherwise still looking good. The neurologist thinks that his head growth is just him "catching up," which is consistent with his other areas of growth beginning to catch up as well. (His length recently jumped into the 10th-25th percentile for his actual age.) The wonder of Jude's recovery continues!
