A couple of weeks ago I noticed a blue line that ran from McKay's soft spot to his ear. I thought it might be a vein, but I felt it and it was actually a grove in his skull. We were a little worried, since the week before I had fallen down the stairs while holding McKay. I thought that my arm had protected him, but it had gone so fast that I wasn't sure what happened, so we called our doctor. He was also worried so he had us come into his office. After visiting with the doctor he sent us up to Primary Children's hospital to get a CT Scan on McKay's skull.
McKay was such a champ and slept through the entire ordeal. It was hard to strap down our little baby.
He looked so small inside that machine. I love that the machine has flowers on it to disguise how scary it is. Luckily McKay was too little to care much.
Luckily the CT Scan came back fine and the groove is not an actual crack in his skull. Since this time though we have noticed 2 more. The doctor is just going to watch them...whatever that means. I am actually taking him in today because his "soft spot" is swollen. Hopefully it is nothing....
