Follow Up Appointment @ RCH tomorrow.

[Jakabella]

We have a follow up appointment at the Royal Childrens Hospital tomorrow for Bellas Head Shape (plagiocephaly sp??) - we have been once and she was on the borderline for needing a helmet.

I am so nervous right now - my heart is going a million miles an hour! I know that her head has gotten ever so slightly better as she is sitting up all the time now and she sleeps with her head on both sides.

I dont want her to wear a helmet.. BUT I dont want to be selfish about it eaither. The Paed said it will only get better and that it is NO way hindering her development. So its up to us. Im so up in the air about it all.

She is perfect to us and when I mention it to ppl they dont even notice her head is a little flatter on one side. I dont want a helmet but I dont want her to get teased when she is bigger..

I just pray that when we get there tomorrow the paed says its better and sends us on our way..

Thanks for listening! Sorry its such a ramble!

I know I have to listen to what the Paed says - but I cant help the way I feel.

Fingers crossed for you.

I bet you've probably thought of this already - but it's not just getting teased that might be an issue. What about trouble buying hats, or not being able to wear a fascinator or part her hair a certain way. They sound so trivial, but too an emotional teenager, they will be big things, that could have some huge impacts on her.

Meanwhile, she wouldn't even remember a helmet. I know you'd hate it, but would you rather hold that burden for her now than have her deal with it later?

That's the way I would look at it. But I hope the helmet is not even an option.

Thinking of you chick.

How did you go?

Hey Ladies,

BELLAS HEAD IS MUCH BETTER!!

The Paed said she can see a a definate improvment in her head shape and that the bottom part of her head is already popped out and the top will follow!
So the RCH no longer needs to see her and our local Paed no longer needs to see her eaither!!
I am so relieved and I know that her head will be AOK given time!

I am exhausted now and off to bed soon! SO HAPPY!!

Love Kate xox
