The Beginning

May 8, 2009

What was supposed to be a usual 4 month check-up before surgery turned out to be another story. The PA that did his check-up was a little concerned with the shape of his head. She said it was slight and might require a DOC band, but didn't commit to it because it was so minut. She told me that she would call with a referral to Cranial Technologies, who specialize in plagiocephaly. I left the office confused and saddened. Not sad because of the outcome, but sad because of what Nixon has had to endure since birth. My heart hurt, but I know that our journey had just begun.
