Molly was full term and her mother did everything right in the pregnancy. Two weeks ago an ultrasound determined she was a very large baby--almost 9 pounds. Her doctor decided not to a C section and wait for things to progress naturally. A few times during the two weeks the baby was not moving and she went into the doctors office to make sure things were okay. Shyeh was in labor for twenty hours before the baby was taken by c section. The baby has a large red bruise on her head and started to have seizures of her left arm and shoulder. She has been transferred to Worcester NIC unit. the baby is on an intravenous drip of fenabarbitol. A CAT scan tonight showed a problem on the right side of the brain--a smalll area either missing, swollen, or crushed. Tomorrow there will be a EEG and MRI by the Neurologist. They also said she could have had a small stroke. Any ideas would be appreciated. Everyone is upset. Anyone seen this problem? Thank you.

Details don't matter at this point - the baby needs to be seen by a pediatric neurologist, put on medication, and followed. She sounds like she has a hemangioma, but - as I said - details don't matter right now, just treatment. I have a daughter who has had seizures for 16 years; no determinable reason. Just love her, stay by her side, and seek the best treatment possible. PS - TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS!
