bump on head-update =(

a couple weeks ago i wrote a post about noticing a bump by griffins temple but we decided to wait til his 4 month appt to ask the pedi about it.

anyway, i then noticed that the side of his head was looking more lumped out than the other side so we took him to the pedi yesterday.  she said sometimes the plates in the skull fuse together early (which i think someone mentioned in my last post) and she'd check it again at his 4 month check up.  at that point she may want xrays done (is that ok on a baby?) and may refer us to a neurosurgeon.  that dr may take the case and monitor griffin and he may eventually need surgery.  of course thats the worse case scenario but its all i can think about.  i dont want someone operating on griffins head =(

someone please look into their crystal ball and tell me its going to be ok=(

  • Awwww poor Griffin! X-rays are Ok on baby...Avery's had some done.

    I have a feeling he'll be just fine. He's so healthy and thriving...and no matter what, you will make it through! He's lucky to have parents that love him so much!

  • My cousin's baby has plates that fused together too soon and he has to have surgery. He has a ridge down his forehead and he looks like a dinosaur. It's actually pretty common. Just word to the wise, don't google it. It will only freak you out.

  • I'm sorry :( When is his 4 month appointment? The waiting is the worst for sure. We're at the hospital now waiting for N to get out of the MRI...and her doc is out all week so I think that means we won't know results until next week. It'll kill me, the waiting. Try not to stress, you'll probably go to the next appt and find out everything is ok!
  • thanks for the support ladies=)

    whats the MRI for??  aww, i hope everything is alright with your LO!!  griffins 4 month appt is only 3 weeks away so we dont have to wait long.  but if we do get an xray then im not sure how long the wait is for the results.  *sigh*  being a mom is so mentally tough.

    N has a birth mark on her back they wanted to check out. Also they checked her neck because she sleeps kind of funny. Her results will be back in 2 days...so I'd think an xray would be similar. Good luck and keep us posted!
  • Poor little man!  I hope that this comes to absolutely nothing.  I'm sure it will be ok!
