On October 15th, Charlie had his follow-up visit with the neurosurgeon in St. Louis regarding his head size and shape. When we saw him in the spring he had requested that we return in 4-6 months to make sure Charlie's head seemed to be developing correctly. At this visit he informed us that Charlie's head has only grown 0.7 cm in 5 months! He said that the size of his head is beginning to track back down into proportion for where he should developmentally be at this point in time. Praise God! Through the prayers (and even practical intervention in a couple of cases!) of the saints and through the abundant mercy and compassion of God, Charlie has thus far been totally spared from surgery or medical intervention of any sort! We were THREE days away from surgery to reconstruct his skull and possibly drain fluid from around his brain! The thought is absolutely overwhelming. Thank You, Father, for your tender grace! And thank you again to each of you who prayed and those who have continued in prayer. May God get much glory from Charlie's life and health.
