Yesterday, we went to the doctor for an infection in his toe. While we were there, I asked the doctor (who wasn't our main pediatrician) about her opinion of Benjamin's head. We've been monitoring it for a few weeks now. Rather than being round, his head is very long. The doctor we saw expressed concern (as had two other pediatricians) and had us referred to a pediatric neuro surgeon. Here's what we know.
- The concern of the doctor's is that Benjamin has craniosyntosis. This is when the head fuses together too quickly causing problems with his rapidly growing brain.
- We are waiting through the referral process right now, and are hoping to have an appointment with a neuro surgeon in Temple as soon as we can.
- If the neurologist does agree that Benjamin has craniosyntosis, then only option we will have is surgery.
Here's what we are asking prayer for.
- Peace for Curtis and I. All we can do is wait, and we are trying our best to wait in His peace and for His will.
- If it's God's will, we would like for Benjamin to not have this problem, or for it to be healed before surgery.
Thank you to those of you who have already surrounded us with love, and prayers. Keep them coming! I'll post more updates as we have them, probably on Benjamin's blog.

Praying for Benjamin right now!
Phil 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Kierstyn- Praying for you, Curtis, and Benjamin!! Also, when you come to Temple, we live about 10 minutes from the hospital (and I am up there every week for my appointments). Please let us know if there is ANYTHING that we can do for you, keep Elizabeth and Micah, give you a place to stay, anything. We only have the one spare room, but in preparation for our baby, we have a crib, pack and play, two bassinets, two twin beds for the adults, and a couch. Let us know, and we will continue to pray!!
Love you guys--praying for you consistently...

Psalm 91 speaks of security under God's Protection. Security for you and Curtis and security for little Benjamin.
Verse 9 & 10: Because you have the Lord for your refuge; you have made the Most High your stronghold. No evil shall befall you, nor shall affliction come near your tent, ...
I have added the whole family to my prayer list.
