Well, we're settling in. Kelsee's adjusting to being a stay-at-home mom, Jason's started another school term, and Haley continues to charm. Kelsee's mom arrived yesterday from Kentucky to stay a week and enjoy her newest grandbaby. We met with Haley's pediatrician for the first time yesterday, and it was an excellent visit. She's 7 lbs. 9 oz., and her head circumference doesn't appear to have grown any since last Saturday, which is a good sign. The doctor did a thorough check looking for other physical symptoms that often accompany severe Dandy Walker, and Haley passed with flying colors.

Haley also received her first Hep B shot. She handled it with not more than a short cry, but was pretty fussy all night and this morning.

We'll go back in for another head measurement next week, and then we'll meet with the pediatric neurologist and pediatric neurosugeon on Oct 23 to determine the direction we'll take. We'll keep you posted!
