Preston's head

Well, it turns out that Preston has a misshapen head. It is not something new but it is finally being resolved. We noticed that Preston's head was flat on the left side when he was 3 or 4 months old. We asked Dr. J about it and he said that we need to wait it out and see if it fixes itself once he becomes more mobile. We think it is because he has had a tendency to lay on that side of his head for everything, sleeping, eating, hangout... Well, we waited it out as instructed and it has gotten better but is still pretty flat on the left side. So, at Preston's 9 month appointment we got a referral to Dr. Rodriguez, the only child neurologist in town. I called to make an appointment and was told, in a not so friendly way, "you don't call us, we call you." So, I called Dr. J's office so they can send the proper paper work so that I can get an appointment for my kid. A month later I still heard nothing back and so I called both doctor's offices again. Dr. J said that they had sent the paper work and Dr. R said that they hadn't got it. Well, eventually Dr. Rodriguez's office called us and we had our appointment yesterday. Only 2 months after the referral was given.
I told Dallin to dress decent because they seemed like snobby people and I didn't want them to get the wrong impression of us. Pathetic, I know but whatever. We got to the office, and everyone was real nice. The doctor was funny and smart and he didn't freak Preston out by being up in his business. As you may know, Preston doesn't do well with strangers or even people he doesn't see that often. So, Dr. Rodriguez gave him space but was still able to look at everything he needed to. The doctor told us that it was one of two things. Either his head growth plates had grown together, and that would mean surgery to fix it OR his skull had not grown together, like they are suppose to be and a helmet would most likely fix the flatness.
The doctor said that he didn't know which one it was and would need more information, he requested a Cat scan to see what is going on in Preston's head. The poor little guy is going to have to be sedated because like any almost 1 year old, he never stops moving. We have to wait a couple days before we get the appointment at the hospital but I am glad we are finally getting things worked out and figured out so that we can move on. This is only part one...part 2 will be what happens with the CT Scan and the results. Stayed tuned...
