each time we take k to the pediatrician there is talk about how big his head is. the last few times there has been a bit of concern and talk about hydrocephalus and the curve it is growing on which not so much as a curve as a spike on the growth charts.
we had an appointment with the neurologist just before the holidays, and he agreed to just order a ultrasound to rule things out once and for all. thankfully, k got a clean bill of health this morning after his ultrasound.
off course, there was a heart attack moment when the technician said she was going to get the doctor to show him the pictures. when she saw the look of sheer panic on my face she assured me that she wanted verify with the radiologist that she had gotten good pictures because she doesnt do a lot of head ultrasounds. we were lucky that his fontanel is still open, given his adjusted age - which pays off sometimes! when the tech came back from seeing the doctor she said he asked her to pass along that everything looked great and that our doctor would get a report to that effect in a few days. once we hear from him we can put this behind us for good and just chalk the big head up to genes. ahh!!
