Last week we had a very nice visit with Grandma Krause. The kids really enjoyed the visit. It was also nice for Chuck and I to have an extra set of hands to help us out.
We also took Savannah to see a doctor about her head shape to see if it was medically necessary to have cranial banding done or if it was more cosmetic. It was difficult to find a doctor to evaluate her, but we did find one about 45 minutes away at the Lehigh Valley Hospital. The doctor started the evaluation process with Savannah and about 1/2 way through we realized that we had the wrong type of doctor. We were suppose to go to a Neurosurgeon, not a Neurologist. I was a little annoyed because I was given wrong information when I booked the appointment. But, in light of the mistake we actually walked out of the office with a smile on our face. The doctor was extremely nice and knowledgeable. She reviewed Savannah's medical file and then proceeded to evaluate her. She said that Savannah looked wonderful for a child that had such a severe brain bleed. She didn't seem to concerned about Savannah's head shape, but said that she would find someone for us to bring her to for a second opinion. We will now be taking Savannah to a doctor in Philadelphia (2 hrs away) to evaluate her. Hopefully it will be all good news.
Now for the bad news, we are all sick with a stomach bug. Hopefully it will be quick. It sure is hard taking care of a family when you are sick yourself.
The babies will 10 mths. old tomorrow.
