Mauer's pediatrician, Dr. Sundell, called on Monday morning, as promised. She said that they were reconsidering the CT scan and opting to send him to a cranio-facial specialty clinic in Seattle instead. I believe it is at Children's Hospital. I'm feeling much better about this plan because he can be observed by experts. I don't want to sound disrespectful, but Dr. Sundell is just a regular old pediatrician! We won't be able to schedule the visit until we get the referral approved by our insurance. Thankfully, they are known for a relatively quick turn around! We will keep you posted when we know more.
On another note, our friend, Baby Elsa (see pictures from MN) has been in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in Minneapolis since Tuesday. She unexpectedly had to have a shunt placed next to her brain! She's resting and recovering as expected but she's only 4 months old. Please keep them in your thoughts & prayers.
Geez, pretty scary on both sides. Good news about Children's though! I'll be thinking of you.
