hydro what?

When doctors use big words and start going into long explantions you really start to freak. Its like they try to confuse you so you wont worry as much but in fact it does complete opposite. Elias' pedi became concerned at his 6 week appt that his head was growing too rapidly. So at his 3 month appt we had to get an ultra sound done and do a consult with a pediatric neurosurgeon....the ultra sound showed that there is extra fluid around his brain which was causing his head to grow a little faster than it should. they havent been too overly concerned because his development has been right on track if not ahead for his age. the neuro in richmond WAS concerned with his sleep patterns. Elias at 5 1/2 months has yet to sleep through the night. In fact he wakes frequently through the night. And he wasnt napping AT ALL. While his naps have gotten better he still doesnt sleep through the night. I think it has been decided he just doesnt like sleep. The neuro here in Alabama has been very reassuring and doesnt seem to think anything is going on right now. More than likely he will be followed by the neuro until he is 2 years old to make sure nothing is going on with fluid. As of right now its not trapped fluid just extra fluid. Elias will just be the Kindergardner with biggest head :)
