Second opinion?

So after Avery and I driving three hours, our reservations being messed up, so we thought (Chris booking them under my maiden name lol.) Getting it all straightened out. Avery and I settled down for the night. I hardly slept at all,and was already awake when the alarm on my phone went off. So we got around. Waited for his daddy to meet us. Got the road name from the man at the front desk that had the parking garage on it. To go there, realize that not only was it wrong..but that we forgot something. Great.  Turn around. Make sure we have everything, including the correct address. Finally get there..a half an hour late. I'm not sure how long we sat in the waiting room for,but I'm sure it seemed longer than it really was. I'm guessing we were in the room for maybe fifteen minutes. Saw the doctor for about five. And he told us exactly what I was hoping to hear, there's No concern for surgery. Thank God. He told me that his head was in the 50th percentile. And that he will just have our pedi keep an eye on head circumference. Such a relief.

After getting home and talking to my mother and grandmother, they reminded me of something.  At his last check up,just a week prior, they said his head was only in the 15-25th percentile. Would it really grow that fast in a week? They suggested getting a second opinion. And now, I'm back at not really knowing what to do. I don't want to not get a second opinion and have the first be wrong. And really, I would rather know for sure, even if others  consider it a waste of time and effort. So, I called our doctors office and am expecting a call from Dr leanord around three today. Were going to go over everything and discuss a second opinion. 

I'm hoping to hear the same thing. But after being in the position. Having that fear, my heart goes out to all of the families who are in those shoes. All of those parents stories I have read about them handing their babies to the surgical team and just waiting. I've talked to some amazing and strong cranio mother's, who are so inspiring. And am so thankful for those who have made it their mission to reach out to other mother's and help them. There are a few organizations that do things such as make care kits for the kids who need this surgery. I will be posting the websites on my blog for anyone who is interested in helping them out.
