Hi,

We understand the situation u r going thru and we wish ur child a speedy recovery. However, pls note that we r not medical professionals here, thus our info would be limited, which'd not impel us to offer any cognizative input to ur query.

What I understand on the subject is by reading this:

I'd suggest u to take a medic's opinion on it, whether it'd affect ur baby's meds with CIC or otherwise.

I wish u all the best.

The ossification of the bones of the skull causes the fontanelles to close over by 18 to 24 months sometimes 26months, In some cases there are numerous causes of a delayed fontanel closure foe examples achondroplasia, hypothyroidism, Down syndrome, increased intracranial pressure, and rickets.To rule out most disorders a physical examination and diagnostic testing should take place.So i suggest u to go to your child's pediatrician and have a specific consultation, before your MR. Be safe and take care.
All the Best.
