Today was Averys Dr appointment for her head and everything is A-OK . I dont know the exact medical term that was used, but in simple terms, the soft spot on the top of her head closed too soon and its causing a ridge to grow upward. If you feel the top of her head in this one spot, there is a large bump. I never noticed it before, but because of it, her forhead protrudes slightly. Luckily, her case is mild and doesnt require surgery. She will go back when she turns one to make sure all is growing properly. I am so happy that she will not need the helmet. YEA!!!! I have not liked one pediatrician that I have ever had-im being dead serious, not one. I cant say enough good things about the one I have here. She is attentive and thourough and is really interested in the kids well being. The Dr. I saw this morning said the thing that Avery has is rarly caught this early. What a blessing to know that if Averys case was more severe, she would have caught it early enough. If I have to say one good thing about Utah, I guess it would be that I FINALLY have a great Pediatrician!!!! Yea Dr....BOO Snow!!

I feel your pain on finiding a good pediatritian. I finally ended up at a family doc that i'm not super pumped on. aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I am so glad she doesn't need a helmut, although they truly are a great modern-day invention. My nephew (Stacy's) Max had to wear a helmut and it really reshaped his head, but it's sad for them...I would hate to have to wear something like that on my head 23 hours a day. My Dylan had to see a specialist when he was 4 months for his head. His neck was tight on one side so he would only turn his head one way so it flattened his head on one side, but we just had to exercise it. But, I am glad you found a Dr. you like...sounds like she is on top of it...and Avery is a doll, you would never know.
YAY thats great news!! Glad you finally found a doc you like. Are you telling me you didnt like that one guy we both saw? hahaha...totally kidding. He was the worst...and he wasnt even a doctor!
Hurray! I'm so glad she's ok. The pictures from the park and the temple are soo cute! I'm already excited for you guys to come for Christmas :)
Yea for good pediatricians! That is so awesome that you found a good one! That makes DR appts so much nicer!!!
