Thank you to all of you wonderful prayer warriors. I was preparing to write an email about our morning and let everyone know that we had gotten Tate's CT Scan done today. Everything at Vanderbilt went amazingly well and we couldn't have been more happy or impressed with the staff that took care of our boy. We were told when we left that it would take 24-48 hours to get the results to the pediatrician, and not to be surprised if we didn't hear anything until after the weekend was over. Imagine my surprise (and anxiety) when the phone rang at 2:15 on Thursday!!
The CT Scan results showed that Tate does not have Crainiosynostosis, which means he will NOT need to have surgery!!! The scans showed that none of the sutures in his skull have begun to close prematurely. The CT Scan also confirmed that he DOES have Plagiocephaly on the left side. We have an appointment on February 17th with a crainiofacial surgeon at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. He will determine what treatment course we should take and whether or not Tate will need to wear a corrective helmet to reshape his skull. Currently the plagiocephaly is not putting any pressure on Tate's brain, which is also wonderful news.
Thank you so very much for all of the prayers, we have felt them surrounding our family and lifting us up. We ask you to continue storming heaven with prayers that Tate may be completely healed and for the continued guidance of Gabe and I while we make decisions regarding his future treatments and care. Thank you all! We love you and are so blessed to have each of you in our lives.

I'm so happy it turned out this way. I've been thinking of him constantly since you told me what was going on. I hope his next appointment goes well!
