Breathing A Little Easier

As a new mom, I am always asking the question, "Am I doing the right thing for Brody?" I think everyone goes through that with the first child. Always second guessing myself, listening to the thousands of suggestions from how to hold him to which bottles to use. He is almost two months old and the one thing I think I am finally starting to understand is you just have to "go with your gut". Today I finally feel like I can breath a little easier. I took Brody back to UMC today for a CT Scan and an appointment with a pediatric neurosurgeon to check for craniosenostenosis (closing of the fontanel) and hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain), both of which I had and are hereditary. It was the longest two hours, but the doctor came back and said that he was clear of both! We are not 100% out of the water, but now his pediatrician can monitor his head growth with each visit and let us know if anything is becoming abnormal. I was actually praised for taking things into my own hands and staying on something that could possibly be life threatening. Wow, I feel like we as parents, are actually doing something right. And better than that, Brody's okay.
