From Keegan's Grandma Iris, just this evening, Christmas Eve, direct to y'all, through private message to your humble Cat.

Prayers please: Keegan Update: So he is up to 2lbs 14oz and is 15 inches long But the number most important right now is 29.3 Thats how many centimeters around his head is, 1 more cm than yesterday. We want this number to go down or stay the same not go up. Good news in this area is the doc at Bryan sent his info to UNMC for a second opinion and their pediatric neurosurgeon isn't on Christmas vacation. So at least if he has to go he will have a pediatric guy to goto not the adult one covering at Children's Update of the update: they did transfer him to the Med Center in Omaha this morning. Waiting to see if he needs surgery to put a shunt in or not.

UNMC is University of Nebraska Medical Center, in Omaha. Bryan is a major hospital in Lincoln, 60 or so miles away. They all live in Lincoln.

Here is an earlier update that I had not been able to post, because I was using my tablet which I still have issues with.

Basically Keegan has water on the brain caused by a clot in his spinal fluid. Best case scenario it dissolves on its own in the next few days, but if necessary he could end up being sent to Children's of Omaha to have a temporary shunt put in to drain it. The pediatric neurosurgeon is on christmas vacation so he wont be back til Jan. 6th that plus Keegan being a baby so no fused skull means we can wait and see and hope it dissolves on its own.

Please Ping your list. Keegan needs your help.

I just realized, Keegan has the same middle name as my grandson to be, who has about the same due date as Keegan’s full term date. It’s my father’s, and my son in law’s father’s middle name too.
