Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone very carefully through your query. I am sorry to know about your query. Let me assure that the 'ponds' are actually depressed fractures of the skull and so definitely they have checked for fractures and have found them to be there. Unless the ponds are significantly deep to cause compression of the brain, no intervention is required and they would heal on their own.
Let me know if I could help further.
