My baby has a Neurosurgeon

On March 4th my Mom, my baby and myself all drove to Mesa to to meet my daughters Neurosurgeon, Dr. David Moss. Prior  to our appointment, I had spoken with Joyce, Dr. Moss' head nurse. She was amazing over the phone; introducing herself, telling me about Dr. Moss, talking to me about what I must be feeling and thinking. I immediately knew we were in the right hands.

Dr. Moss was in between emergency surgery's when we had our appointment but still took the time to go over her x-rays in detail, even drawing pictures on a paper to help explain and describe everything. He is very matter of fact as he should be but also very comforting. He says he will treat Felicity like she is one of his own Grandchildren.

He reassured me that this was NOTHING that I did or didn't do. He talked with me about everything I had previously read on the internet and addressed all my concerns. I of course broke down the moment we started talking and thankfully my Mom was holding Felicity so she wouldn't sense anything.

They want us to return for a CT Scan, meeting with Dr. Moss again and also meet with Dr. Joganic the Craniofacial Surgeon.

During our drive back I said to my Mom "I have confidence and feel comfortable with Dr. Moss and his team". I felt like a weight was lifted after meeting with him. Prior to our appointment, I would break down in tears and just loose it when Felicity was sleeping. After our appointment, I stopped.
