The past few weeks have been a little rough for our family. We took Chase in for an MRI a couple of weeks ago to find out if there were reasons for his developmental delay. We actually went into it thinking they weren't going to find anything, and were surprised(and a little sad) when they did. Apparently he had a lack of oxygen to his brain either in utero or at birth. This affected the white matter in his brain.(Medical term: Periventricular Leukomalacia) We don't totally understand it all, but the neurologist said, it is like a road block to the communicators in his brain, which would affect his development. This has not changed who he is, a happy, smiling, carefree boy, who melts my heart. My dad said it best when he said, "He is one of God's Celestial Children." I do feel blessed to be his mom.
