Scheduled Delivery
Hey everyone, this profile picture was taken of Kaden on 1-29. The white mark next to his forehead is his hand. You can see how big his head is getting in this picture. His head is measuring at 40 weeks and his body is just over 31 weeks. They have scheduled a c-section at the U of U on February 15th. A bunch of different doctor's have discussed him, and they all feel taking him this early would be more dangerous than waiting. The neurologists can't even place a shunt in his head yet because his body is to small. They all feel that keeping him on the inside longer will give him a better chance of survival. I have to go in every week from now until he is born to have him measured, because they can't let his head get bigger than 42-43 weeks or it becomes to dangerous to deliver. So even though I am scheduled for the 15th, if his head grows to rapidly it will be sooner, or if it stops growing it could be later. We are so thankful to everyone for your support and prayers. I honestly think the reason we feel so much peace is because of everyone's prayers for him and us. We know that Kaden is very special, he must be to have chosen this and we also know that God will take care of him, whatever his life may bring. Thanks everyone and we will keep you informed on what happen's next week.
