My 5 month old daughter's head was looking a little crooked to me & her neck did too.
Well people told me not to worry it was just from the way she would lay or the way she was positioned in the womd & that it would straighten out as she got older.
When I took her to get her shots & checkup I brought it to the Doc's attention.
I was told that her head had grown a little fast since her last checkup & her head size was in the 95 percentile.
He was also concearned cause her soft spot was bulging out, which I did not even notice.
He asked me questions about her being sick, She did have a few colds that I remember, but she did not seem seriously ill.
He asked me about infections when I was pregnate. Yes I had a really bad case of strep throat which led to a infection in or becide my lungs like a fluid filled something I cannot remember, I just remember it was very painful.
I also had group B strep but was treated with antibiotics in Labor.
My baby girl has to have X-rays on her neck & spine & a ultrasound on her head Tuesday.
He is worried she has Hydrocephalus caused by infection or spinal problem.
Has anyones child here had this?
My daughter seems normal in development & ahead in some things. Should I worry about future development. Has anyone had this & still developed normally?
What do I have to look foward to? Also I was told the soft spot sticking out is a definate sign there is preassure on her brain. I have been crying for 2 days.
What are the chances she could die? What are the chances for normal development. Will she suffer a lot? Is she hurting now?
Please someone help me understand. Someone that has been thru this. Is your child normal now?
