'Tis the Season?
My daughter has a big head. At her 12 mth pediatric appointment her head was still measuring in the 100th percentile so a CT scan was scheduled for last Monday. Madeline was fairly distressed and of course wouldn't hold still so her head had to be taped down in this horrible styrofoam thing. Wednesday we rec'd a call that there were some issues and we had an appt scheduled to see a neurosurgeon in Minneapolis for a second opinion.
I was a little freaked out; Justin was more freaked out. When I was a child I had similar issues with having a big head and Justin has always had a large head as well. This eased my worry a little.
Today we had the meeting with the neurosurgeon. Doc had amazing credentials--Harvard grad. I felt like we were in great hands. He greeted us himself in the waiting room and escorted the 3 of us back to his office. Madeline's scans were up on his computer and after he completed introductions he said, "well, I see where she gets her big head! It appears that the 2 people in the world with the biggest heads fell in love, got married, and had a baby with an even bigger head."
Is that your professional opinion?
Long story short, everything is totally fine and we enjoyed a long-ass drive back up North.
Hopefully Madeline and I can just be home for a while or even a week or something. I'm way tired and have Maddie's awesome cold.
