First up was Felicity's CT Scan. She did amazing!!! They laid her down on her back, wrapped her up snug like a lil pig in a blanket and strapped her head down. They gave me a protective jacket to wear and let me stay with her, holding her chin and talking to her. She cried but once they let her out of the wrap she was all smiles. There's something to be said about a Children's Hospital and the amazing nurses and doctors. I had read others stories about how their children had to be sedated to do the CT Scan and I was worried but reassured by Dr. Moss that they use every method not to while still making sure the child isn't too uncomfortable.
Once the CT Scan CD was ready, we headed over to Dr. Moss' office. He went over the results which confirmed she has Unilateral (one sided) Coronal Craniosynostosis on the right side and her soft spot is completely closed. First and foremost, her brain looks great! And, her Craniosynostosis is NOT affiliated with a syndrome. Two huge bonuses!!! We discussed the surgery procedure and once again I broke down but still feel confident in the team. I am also very impressed and relieved that Dr. Moss is very particular about who he uses for anesthesia, there's only about 10 Anesthesiologists he uses out of everyone.
Our final appointment of the day is meeting with Dr. Joganic the Craniofacial Surgeon. He and Dr. Moss have performed many many surgeries together in over 20 years. He and his staff were great and made me feel comfortable and confident in them. They took pictures of Felicity and said they were impressed by how well she did. Haha, I've taken so many pics of her she loves cameras.
It was a long day and my precious did awesome!!! Thankfully she rides great in the car, especially since it's a 2 hour commute each way.
