update on my doc appt. and some questions, if you don't mind.....

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

My daughter was 4 mos old on 2/21. A couple weeks ago we started noticing her

head shape was a bit off. I posted a pic on here, her name is Lainey.

Today we had her 4 month appt and I showed the pediatrician, who agreed that she

should see the specialist. She said it looked pretty mild (she's a ped, so I

take that with a grain of salt). I was happy, tho, that she validated my

concerns and realized that it's much more than a cosmetic issue.

She told me that the specialist required a CT scan before he would see me. Makes

no sense to me. I would really like to meet with the specialist first to make

sure we even want to move forward with any treatment. I went ahead and made an

appt with Hanger to have a free evaluation on Friday. Turns out, this Hanger

facility works closely with this specialist. So, we'll see how that appt turns

out.

Did any of you have a similar experience? Seems like a ct scan shouldn't just be

done before seeing the specialist.

Ugh.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Aimee
