For those of you that aren't aware we do have a grandson that is 9 mo. old. My son phoned me this morning concerned as he had a received a call from my dil who had just come from an appt. with the pediatrician for Andrew's checkup. My son's question to me was "did I have a big head when I was a baby?" No, his head was normal as I recollect. In all seriousness the doctor is concerned that Andrew's head measurement since his 6 mo. to his 9 mo. visit is too great. As I recall when he was born his head measured 14 in. They have a Cat Scan scheduled tomorrow morning to hopefully dispel any concerns or problems. No, I am not privy to the 6 mo. measurement but I do know that today it measured "18 something." So his current head size isn't the concern but the growth rate since last visit. Whoops, I think I already said that. Please excuse me but I am a concerned Nanni at the moment.
I (being a disabled & retired R.N.) have lost all sense of rationability and nurse sense. Strange how we lose all perspective when we are concerned about a family member.
I keep reassuring myself someone mis-measured or documented the wrong head circumference at one of the two visits or both. I know one thing for certain, he has a perfect, beautiful head.
I shall pray and wait patiently for the results of the CT scan tomorrow. Please keep Andrew in your thoughts.
I hope all will be well!
ReplyDeleteAnd most probably you are right, and someone has mismeasured that cute little (or not so little) head.
Thank you so much Henya. I just talked to my son and everything appeared normal with the testing done today. My prayers were answered.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to get the answer in the same concerned post! Sometimes that doesn't happen. Glad he is okay. =)
