On October 28th we headed to the doctors office for Nora's 1 month checkup. We were hoping to find out that her heart murmur was gone and we had nothing to worry about. As any new mom would do I asked our pediatrician a million questions. My biggest concern was with Nora's eyes as they would do this funky thing where she would look down so you could only see half of her eye and then they would "bounce". My first thought was she was having a seizure but she never was unresponsive or got stiff so that didn't make sure sense. Since I didn't know what was going on and it only happened randomly I thought I would ask the doctor about it and now I am glad I did.
The doctor listed to see if she could still hear the heart murmur which thankfully she said it was gone! We then started talking about Nora's eyes, her head circumference and that her sutures lines we so spread apart. Since all of that was going on her Doctor wanted to get a ultrasound right away to see what was going on. They got us in that day to have it done. The results were that they saw some fluid on her brain and then wanted to have a MRI done on Monday.
Monday, really you tell me they see fluid on her brain and you want me to wait all weekend to get more answers. How was I suppose to relax and enjoy the weekend knowing this was happening to my baby girl and not really knowing what it all meant. Looking back I am glad that I didn't know what it meant because it was Halloween weekend so at least we had a little fun.
Our Little Ladybug's First Halloween
We enjoyed the afternoon with my family at the Dowling Pancake Breakfast followed by Living History Farms. After that we went over to the Kinney's for trick or treating.
