✨Part 2: Craniofacial Appointment in Westwood, CA✨ At our last regular check up with our pediatrician, she wanted us to go to a craniofacial specialist to ensure the plates of S’ skull were growing properly since his head is narrower than Z’s. The worst that I thought they would find is that he might need a helmet and I did not anticipate what the possible diagnosis and treatment would be. Dan dropped us off first while he parked with our other 3 so I was by myself with S when the doctors told me they are concerned he could have craniosynostosis because he has a slight ridge down the top of his skull. If diagnosed, it would mean that the plates in his skull have fused too quickly not leaving room for his brain to grow properly and he would need skull surgery with a neurosurgeon and plastic surgeon to fix it. I was quietly freaking out alone in my head. We were given the choice to do a CT Scan (would need sedation, but 100% would know the answer) or X-Ray (could stay awake, but 30% chance we’d need to do a CT after anyways). After discussing with our specialist, the surgeon, and calling my dad (OBGYN), we decided to get an X-Ray for baby S. While we waited for the results, we walked to lunch at In -n-Out and to visit the team at our matcha shop, @junbimatcha. It’s only a 6 min walk from UCLA and was just the cheer-up meal we needed. We got the Bigs Blended Guava Refreshers from our Junbi kids menu ☺️ While the Bigs were playing in the hospital’s playground, our doctor came out to discuss the results and we were so relieved to hear that S’ plates are not fused and he does not need skull surgery. Can’t tell you how relieved we are!! His sweet little head is developing right on track. We are so grateful for the compassionate care we received by the pediatric cranio team at UCLA. It’s never easy going to any doctor appointment for your child where the outcome feels uncertain and you feel helpless. If no one has told you you’re amazing today, well, you’re so amazing and your kid(s) are so blessed to be in your care and wrapped in your love ❤️ #stirandstyle #momvlog #craniofacial #twinmom #twins #twinmama #doubletwins #innout #junbimatcha #ucla
