Carly has to see a neurosurgeon

I seriously think I might cry. I know everything is probably okay but still it's scary. Carly's cat-scan showed that some of her sutures are closing to early. Pedi is recommending us to a neurosurgeon.

And this is just proof to go with your mommy gut instinct. My pedi thought it looked okay, not really abnormal and wasn't worried but I pushed for the xray which then turned into a cat-scan. I am so happy I did.

  • way to go mama for trusting your gut.  i had the same thing with Carson when he was an infant with his pyloric stenosis.

    i am sure she will be fine......just needs to be checked over.  i do sympathize with the worry, i will say a prayer for her. (((hugs)))

  • I am very late to the conversation but what led you to ask for a xray/ct scan? if you don't mind me asking...
  • It's so scary when you're going through it but neurosurgeons are usually the top of the top when it comes to doctors.  Their training lasts forever and they take the toughest cases so I'm sure you'll be in good hands and they'll think Carly's case is an easy case for them!  I hope everything goes smoothly and she's better soon.
