Need prayers

Logan has been expressing concern to me regarding the shape of Stryker's head. Since Stryker was in the birth canal for about 6 wks, we were worried something might be wrong. The back of his head is noticeably flatter & forehead is slanted slightly. Logan called our pediatrician who wanted us to come in for a visit. Our appointment was at 2:45pm on Friday afternoon. He weighed 13 lbs 2 oz. The pediatrician palpated his head & examined his neck. She wanted us to get an x-ray of skull to rule out premature closure of the fontanelles. If the x-ray showed abnormalities, a CT scan would be the next step. She also noticed his torticollis (R side) was a little more pronounced. The PT will teach Logan & I interventions to do at home. We'll be seeing her on Friday afternoon. Prayers are what we need now. Trusting in the Lord for comfort.
