My son has a couple of places on his head that feel mushy. He went to the Dr for it on Friday and we were told to keep an eye on it over the weekend. No changes in color but it has spread. His behavior is still the same. The dr isn't sure what might have caused this, other than maybe some sort of head injury. Of course a 21 month old toddler hits his head a lot but the Dr hasn't seen anything like this before. He ordered a CT scan. They will be calling me to set up the time for it sometime today. Has anyone else experienced this??

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
We did meet alot of parents with the same thing as you though.
It sounds like you have a good Dr as long as he continues monitoring this.
the CT is imperative and they need to look at doing these thing soon. If it is fluis between the scull and the skill this can be fixed with a basic drain and if it is within the brain sack they will do something called a shunt ( similar to the drain but into the scull) the thing is all of this maybe very premiture, but I would incurrage you to research on the Net come up with as much info as possible so 1 you know what to expect and 2 if you are not happy with your dr you know when to get another opinion.
I do hope I havn't scared you I did find that knowing everything made it a lot less difficlt when we had to go through anything.
Hope I have helped and I will be thinking of you!
