So Kaylyn's official diagnosis at this point is Macrocephaly, meaning Big Head. We went to the Dr this morning, and she agreed that the increase in head size is significant enough that an MRI needs to be done to rule out any abnormalities.
Kaylyn's MRI is scheduled for next Wednesday at 10:30. She will have to be there 2 hours prior to the start of the MRI to get her prepped. As of midnight the night before she will not be allowed to eat anything, but thankfully she can still have clear liquids up until 3 hours before the procedure. The MRI of the brain typically takes about 45 minutes, and she will be sedated and intubated through it all. We will not get the results for 2-3 business days, so it is possible we may not know anything until that following Monday.
I am extremely concerned, but I am trying to remain as optimistic as possible. I keep reminding myself that it is a very real possibility that it may just be genetics. Either way it will be good to know one way or the other so we don't have to worry about it anymore.
