Even though my husband was short he was the only one in his family and not associated with LPA or any other organization that taught him about his condition. <br /><br />My son has hydrocephalus and had surgery at 8 months. They also measured the size of his head and kept up on it and it wasn't until about 6 months or so that they started looking into it more. There are symptoms if she does have it like being lethargic and cranky (I noticed when I took him on walks around the neighborhood he would cry every time we went over a bump). I'm sure the doctors will keep on the watch with her in case it develops later. If it does the technology is very good and my son has lived a normal life with with his shunt in. Hope the tests will help figure out whats going on.<br /><br />Your daughters are adorable, reminds me of my little girl when she was a baby!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01053527911135443696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886952905902192770.post-6436801032220914412011-09-08T21:48:50.319-07:002011-09-08T21:48:50.319-07:00Hi Kerri~ Thank you for all of your sweet & ki...Hi Kerri~ Thank you for all of your sweet & kind comments on my blog. Your girls are adorable!<br /><br />I know it is so hard to imagine it right now, but know that all of the appointments for sweet Madilynn will slow down as she gets older. I remember LP Mama's telling me that two years ago and I thought no way. But it's true, the appointments are less frequent now. Caden also had a rough couple years respiratory wise. He would catch every bug! But that has slown down too as he has gotten older ~ thank goodness!<br /><br />Good luck with the sleep study. Caden has always done well with his! He totally amazes me! It's me the momma that hates staying there with him. Blech! Caden also has/had lots of extra fluid around his ventricles. I think its that extra fluid that kills me everytime he bonks me with his big ol achon head :o)<br /><br />My advice for appointments. Always try to get the first thing in the morning appointments. I will even schedule a few weeks further out now if it means I can get a 9 am appointment vs a 2pm appointment. We once waited THREE hours for our neurosurgeon ... and just like you the appt ends up being five to ten minutes. Serious?! Then I'm so flustered from waiting so long and trying to keep my child sane that I forget all the questions I had for the doctor. AHH!<br /><br />Have a great weekend! I look forward to following your adventures on your blog!Caden and Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03200315635933919520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886952905902192770.post-17177009430300221772011-09-07T16:55:40.858-07:002011-09-07T16:55:40.858-07:00Good luck with everything!
