Jess,

I agree everything is going to be okay.  I have a 11 month old that has SWCAH also and my 3 year does not have it.  My 11 month old is 25 lbs 14 ozs (96th percentile) and 30.5 inches long (89th percentile).  She has times when it looks like she is gaining weight and the she will grow lengthwise and everything even out. 

We decided to have the surgery and it is going to be in four days.  Let the surgery be you and your families decision alone.  Don’t let the doctor or your church or any other outside entity pressure your decision.  Not matter the choice you make keep the lines of communication open with your children.

good luck,

Linda Carrillo
