Head Lump Question and circumference question

[Guest guest]

I have two questions for all of you.

My daughter has a locally made helmet that covers her entire head.

They have drilled little holes smaller than the size of a dime for

ventilation. She has had the helmet for about a month now. This

morning when I took it off of her she had a lump where one of the

holes is. It was right at her soft spot. Within about 15 min the lump

went away. Has anyone had this happen to them and is this something

to be worried about?

Also, my daughter's body is in the 10th percentile, and her head is

in teh 98th percentile. She is 8 months old and her body has slowly

inched down on the charts and her head has slowly inched up. Now she

was born at 75th percentile in head and only 10 percentile in body.

My ped wants a ct scan done to make sure she doesn't have any fluid

building up in her head. We only got an x-ray done before she got her

helmet. Does anyone else's babies fall into these percentiles? Also,

does anyone know if I should be worried and what they do if they find

excess fluid? I am trying not to worry about it but I am a little

scared.

Thanks,
