We had Brooklynn's follow up CT of the head to follow her mildly enlarged ventricles seen on her MRI back in October done on Monday. Today we had the follow up appointment with neurosurgery to find out the results. They first take you in to measure the head and weigh her. Her head was 54.5 cm based on the nurse's measurement but 53 cm based on Dr Hornigs head measurement. Her weight fully clothed is 23 pounds 8 ounces. Dr. Hornig said she is looking good and that her CT scan showed that her ventricles are still mildly enlarged but no more than from her MRI. He also said her brain looked "happy" meaning it looks like it is growing appropriately and not pushing against anything. He did say though with the size of her head he is putting in a referral to genetics since we have not yet been seen by them. He said even if they find something there might not be anything we will do and they might not even find anything. We are however cleared from neurosurgery for a year!! So no more CT or MRI for at least that time frame which I am happy about. Now we just have to keep Brooklynn healthy until Monday for her ear tube placement surgery!
