Update On Gwenivere’s Potential Brain Issue

Hopefully the title works for this post – I was not sure how to word it.

Way back about a year ago I had my 20 week ultrasound for Gwenivere and there was an issue that popped up from it – read ALL ABOUT IT HERE. The link goes to the post I wrote at the time that has all the details.

Long story short – they could not find a part of her brain. It was decided we would wait for a few months and try again. We did – and they again could not find part of her brain ( but he head was in a weird position) so much of her brain was not seen.

So we decided to wait again until 36 weeks ( little did I know I would be having Gwenivere that day) – my blood pressure ended up being some crazy number like 170/120 or similar and I was rushed to the hospital and popped out Gwenivere. But before that we did one last try – and he head was so engaged in my pelvis you could barely make out a skull much less a part of the brain.

So the conclusion was to wait to see if she started to miss milestones. But I am HAPPY to report that she is ROCKIN those milestones. She is rolling, crawling, and saying a couple of words. The only thing she is missing right now is sitting; however, she loves to be on the move and hates to be still for even a few seconds.

    First thank you for this information. I was not aware of her issue, and so sorry. I pray for Gwenivere and hope she will be ok. I had my last daughter and during birth, she only had one artery, and one vein in the umbilical cord. At that time the doctor stated that sometime down the road something might happen to her. Well at 5 months she started having seizures, so scans showed she had a dime size hole in her right side of her brain. She is now 41 and with the advances in medications and treatments she is doing fine.

    I’m so glad she’s doing well. That must have been so scary. I pray she co tongues to develop at a normal pace. With 3 older siblings to learn from, she will probably even develop faster!! Blessings to you and your family!
