Bulging fontanel

Yesterday, Rebekah had a cardiology appointment which went great. The doctor was very pleased and she doesn't go back for a month! She also had a neurology appointment per a referral from Dr. Jewitt to establish a baseline exam for neurology. Her fontanel had been bulging since Monday and had been carefully watched by the at home nurses and myself. The neurologist put in a call to neurosurgery and she was sent to the ED to have a hydrocephalus MRI. The results were that it looked similar to her head CT back in MAY so she was sent home and told to come back in a week. The earliest appointment happened to be the 30th, so that's when we will follow up.
