Just got word from the doctor, and i'll try to explain what he told us as best as i can. So...He thinks that Britt is ready for the skull to get put back on. But they haven't made a decision quite yet. Putting the skull back on can be a good thing or a bad thing, it is just trial and error, they kind of have to just go with what they think and hope it works! The good outcome would be them putting it back on and his brain learning to reabsorb the fluids on its own, and as they make the incisions again, they hope that some of the fluid a some blood from the hematoma will be able to drain off. The bad would be if the skull no longer performs the functions the way it used to, or infection, or the body reacting to it poorly, making the pressures in his brain go up again. He said we could potentially go backwards for a little while if that were the case. He isn't going to make a decision until we have the ophthalmologist come tonight and look at his eyes and the MRI he had on them. They want to get every inkling of what could possible be going on with his eyes before they decide what to do. So within the next couple of days the doctor will make a decision on what he think will be best to do next. These neuro doctors are amazing. Everyday i thank the lucky stars that for some reason St. George has 3 of the best neurosurgeons in the country. This trauma unit here in St. George is fairly new. what a blessing, right? Anyway, the doctors, they are so great. so kind. so smart. so in tune. and they love our Britt just like we do. they believing in him too. He is in the best possible hands, and i couldn't be more grateful! So now i pray that his little eyes will be okay, that whatever damage that has been done to them will be able to heal eventually, and that they will start dilating and responding properly. And also that they will be able to make the best decisions for my brother, that their minds, hearts and hands will be led by the spirit. And he will respond well to whatever method they choose.

Please continue to keep sweet Cassidy and her family in your prayers. As well as Dallin and his family:)
