Because he was in the NICU, he had to go to a high risk specialist. WHen he was born his head was in the 5th percentile, and by the time he was 9 months old, it was in the 95th percentile. His doctor was really concerned, like your doctor. Because he still had a soft spot, they were able to do an ultrasound, and everything came back normal. Jason has a big head, and we think it is just genetics. Does anyone in your family have a big head? Then, at his 2 year appointment, the same thing. His head was in the 98th percentile, which means it is growing faster than it should. Since his last scan was normal, they didn't worry too much but told me the exact same thing....if is grows more in the next few months, he will need a CT scan. I was nervous about a CT scan, because it is like 100 x-rays, so I was going to ask for an MRI. Anyways...they ended up not checking because his head didn't grow much more in the next few months. Long story short...it probably isn't anything, but better safe to check. I too was paranoid, and researhed and saw all the scary stuff about what it could be, but it honestly is most likely nothing. I will keep you in my prayers though, and I hope everything turns out ok!!April and Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05460196871393554472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563657340777364013.post-51957973403365116592012-01-25T10:31:06.711-08:002012-01-25T10:31:06.711-08:00So sorry Megan!

And worrying about your baby is the worst. My baby girl has kidney reflux, which is really common and pretty treatable, but because she has another issue with one of her kidneys, she'll most likely have to have surgery when she's 2 or 3. I just can't think about it or I go crazy. We were in the hospital for 3 days when she was 6 weeks old and first got diagnosed and it was miserable. I know a lot of people go through a lot worse, but to me, that was really hard, and knowing it's something that won't go away soon is hard too. I'll be praying for you!! You are amazing! Just keep going to the temple and doing all the right things...you'll be blessed!Caytlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818725073082965386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563657340777364013.post-50627680668838077792012-01-23T21:30:23.841-08:002012-01-23T21:30:23.841-08:00*intubate*intubateKristin Miliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00147477987786456051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563657340777364013.post-7770294757716055412012-01-23T21:28:37.142-08:002012-01-23T21:28:37.142-08:00It seems like in life all trails happen at once. ...It seems like in life all trails happen at once. I'm sorry everything is hitting u so hard. As far as Jack is concerned I think it sounds like you have a very good pediatrician that he spotted that but he should never have mention it unless he were planning on doing something immediately. Telling a mother something like that but saying to wait is absurd! In my opinion I would NOT wait 3 months. I would call and tell him 3 months of waiting and stressing is not acceptable. Among all the reasons for a big growth in head percentage is sadly a brain tumor. Now not that I think Jackson has one but I would demand to rule that out. 3 months of waiting if it is something serious could be devastating. Now remember many kids have growth spurts!! It could be that simple!! I am sure it is just a growth spurt bc most other causes would come with other symptoms. <br />Now Dawson had his first CT scan at 20 months old. He was not put under!! They strapped his head down. It can be done without sedation! An MRI would absolutely require sedation. With sedation for either it is mild and they do not intimate him. He just falls asleep for 30 min. And that's it. It may sound scary but my motto is always, rather know than NOT know!!
