ct results (long)

CarissaA

Yesterday Sam had his ct scan, he did so good, I was worried he would try to move all around but they had him strapped in so tight there was not way for him to move and they let me and dh be right next to him.

   The day started out horrible we got everyone in the car on time and then it wouldn't start so we had to re install the car seats in my aunts car and were running a little late. 

  They called back with the results andt they weren't great.  From what I understand Sam does have water by his brain which they say is normal with infants but the things that hold the water (ventricals) are too big.  The scheduled us an appointment with a neuro surgon next week but its with someone who doesn't take our insurance so I have to start calling around today and getting his records transfered from this neuro surgon to the next.  The frustrating thing is that there are 3 other people who will accept our insurance in the SAME BUILDING but they told us to go to this person. 

  I think more than anything I'm in complete shock with the results.  All of my friends have been telling me not to worrry he just has a big head and I think I just started beliving that so strongly I couldn't believe the results were bad.  I'm also feeling really guilty b/c about 4-5 months ago I thought his head was on the big side but I figured if there was a problem the pedi would say something.

oh, no, i'm sorry the results weren't better. i can't believe they won't let you go to a doctor who's covered under your insurance, that's crazy! with everything else going on, you certainly don't need the money stress as well.

I am so sorry to hear about the terrible situation you have to be in, I feel so badly for you.  I really hope that you can get a doctor on your plan so you don't have to worry about money.

{{{{HUGS}}}}  I'm sorry things didn't go better for you, I know how hard it is to keep telling yourself that nothing is wrong, only to have gotten your hopes up and to be let down horribly.  Things do get better, no matter what, and I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.  You are a wonderful mom and your boys are lucky to have you!

Ugh, our healthcare system sucks! I can't believe you're having trouble finding a doctor that contracts with your plan. What an unneeded pain in the @ss.

 

You can't go beating yourself up about this. You know NOW, and you know early enough to get it treated (if it even needs treatment). THAT is what matters. 

 Hang in there. I'm keeping you and little Sam in my thoughts.
