A thought before bedtime

[Guest guest]

Hey there anyone else who is still up-hmm well i have been reading

all the back and forth posts again about dr b and steve M and all

that jazz-and can you believe I am once again thinking-should i just

leave Cam alone-is it just too late- am I going to put him through a

helmet (if i can get one :-( for nothing? He's in bed now with his

dad-he's moved in on my space :-), its me not being able to sleep

without him nearby at the mo because like all of you i love my baby

so much and feel so sorry that no one ever told me about plagio or

brachy, i feel so sorry that some how i did not just know that i

should not keep putting him on his back_ I feel guilty-my family all

think I am just picking faults in my baby-I just want to fight for

him to have a happy childhood not to be picked on-I just hope that

somehow and very very soon-I will just make a decision one way or

another and then just enjoy my baby

Big hugs to you all

night

HI Jo

I'm still up anyway- and the posts have been playing on my mind as

well, particularly as I had to take Lucia to Dr Blecher today for

our check-up.

We are all just trying to make the best choices we can- I have a

horrible feeling that some of this stuff is just subjective. What

one person sees as meeting a need, another might feel it is taking

advantage. What one person thinks is an unacceptable head-shape,

another parent might see as their quirky little guy or gal. I think

that as a parent you owe it to yourself (and Cam) to follow this

through as much as you need to. I would definitely go for that

appointment with your consultant at Chelsea and Westminster- he

sounds like a thoughful doctor at the very least, although I know he

won't necessarily give the go ahead. That way you will at least

(possibly) have a choice. If you don't, you may be reliving this

debate in your head for quite some time.

Oh well- I don't have any answers. But I think something is probably

driving you forward despite what your family say etc, so I would go

with that gut, even if the doubts get to you late at night!

Jo,

I really agree with what Hannah said. Also, I think it's great

that you have continued to explore all options available to you.

Hopefully you will get the approval at your meeting with Dr Mottram

or from your other doc. If you don't, I hope that you will be at

peace with this. Please don't blame yourself. It's not your fault.

Good luck to you and Cam.
