CAT Scan...

So my daughter is scheduled to get a CAT scan this friday. Which I don't know how I really feel about. The reason is that her doctor thinks her head might be a bit bigger than it should be. She is apparently in the 150% percentile in that category. She does have a head that appears to be a bit larger. So in the last month it grew about one half of a centimeter larger in diameter. The doctor believes that this amount of growth is far to much.

That is where the CAT scan comes in. They want to make sure that she isn't hiding anything else in there. So we are getting ready for that. The hard thing for us as parents is that we have to sleep deprive her and starve her. So put her to sleep later and wake her up earlier and don't give her any breakfast so that she will take the minor sedative and go out like a light.

Doing that to your baby girl who already has me wrapped around her finger doesn't really get me excited. In fact I feel bad. I think this is mainly my fault because as a little kid I had a very large head. In fact even at a year old I sometimes had trouble holding it up. I am fine now, and I feel like she is just suffering from my bad genes. I guess we will prove somebody wrong friday morning. We are thinking that we will make it a daddy daughter date and give Alison a break on this one. She deals with a lot and not having to deal with this may be a relief.

I guess we will see how things turn out...She will be the first in the family to get a CAT scan. Surprisingly her mother hasn't had one even with all the accidents she has been in.
