Introduction and ready for battle

[Guest guest]

Hi @ll,

My name is Kris, Mom to Amara Sky 09-25-00.

My battle has just begun. At Amara's 2 months check up I mentioned her

head, Ped told me nothing to worry about.At the 4 months check up the

Ped totally blew me of.Nothing to worry about it will round out.

( I have started aggressive repositioning, without much luck,Amara is

very mobile and will not stay on her tummy,even with towels under her

shoulder she will still turn and rest on her left side)

So here we are, her 6 months check up is next Tuesday. I am going in

with my guns loaded.I did my research and I am not leaving the Ped

without a referral to a specialist.

Amara has a large flat spot(more like the whole side is flat) on the

left side of her head. One ear bigger than the other and one ear also

pushed forward more. Her cheeks and eyes are off also.

I am hoping that there are some Military people on this list that

could tell me how it went for them. I am still not sure what

specialist I should ask for.

We are in the Norfolk area that means we would have to deal with

Portsmouth Naval Hospital.

This has cost me a lot of grief, partially since I did not stand up

when I should have.I know it cost us time. At this point I am feeling

a mixture of anger and sadness.

I am looking forward to learning from this list

Thanks

Kris

Kris:

Sounds like you've been doing some good research. Ask for a referral to a pediatric neurosurgeon, neurologist, or craniofacial plastic surgeon.

We used to have a few Military people here that were not having good luck at all, but recently, we have had a member who had good luck! Hopefully she will answer you soon!
