Re: 8/8- update on MemorialDayBride12
Hi ladies,
I can’t believe I’m here again with bad news. Baby b who went through NEC and survived twice is now getting bad news yet again.
We went to a pediatric neurosurgeon because he had a bump since the NICU and it’s getting bigger and also he has a flat head in the back because he layed on it for 115 days in the NICU. The doctor said he bump is fine and it’s totally okay which is good news, and he will need a helmet Which isn’t even bad news.
Here is the bad news... the doctor truely believes he has metopic craniosynostosis. Which basically is when there is too much pressure on the brain and if we don’t do brain surgery he will be retarded, have stroke like symptoms, and could be blind. The surgery is major, they said he will need multiple blood transfusion and it’s a long surgery. I have to get a cat scan once the pre certification goes through and once we get it the doctor will call us in and tell us if he has it or not but he was pretty sure he does.
We can’t catch a break. We are so upset.

Re: 8/8- update on MemorialDayBride12
Update after cat scan results:
Hi ladies,
Thank you again for your prayers and good wishes. So the cat scan results indicate that he has a mild version of metopic craniosynostosis however the surgeon said he still fits into the category for surgery. I definitely am going to get a second opinion. He also is sending me to his plastic surgeon to meet and discuss with him also. He wants to be clear if they both are on the same page for surgery.
He is confusing me because Wednesday he was so certain that he needed surgery and yes while the cat scan results proved him to be correct he said my sons case is mild and he has seen much more severe cases.
So now I’m confused as if this is strictly cosmetic why put my son through this? I definitely have to get a second opinion so I can understand this better and see if this is in fact a necessary surgery to do. Thank you for all your prayers. I will continue to update as this all unfolds..

Wonderful update:
Wow!!!! Wasn’t expecting this update!!! CHOP was amazing and I would recommend them to anyone! We got really great news! The neurosurgeon and the plastic surgery both agree that does not have metopic craniosynotosis and that he does have a ridge but that people can have ridges. Also he said that His sutter is still open only closed a little, but it should be closing soon due to his age, and that was normal. The doctors where we live told us that His sutter was completely closed which is not the case. We are beyond thrilled that we went and got a second opinion and didn’t put our son through this horrific long surgery especially when he DIDNT need it!!
The plastic surgeon did recommend a helmet for His flatness and we will go back to CHOP on three months to have it rechecked. We are so happy thank you for all your thoughts, love and prayers!!
