A mothers instinct...

Is always right... Right?

Michelle has been my sick little duckling this past weekend. Fever, cough, runny nose... But last night she awoke screaming her head hurt.. Now we have witnessed a few scenarios where she looked as though she was gagging (with her fundo she does not vomit), It concerned me enough to contact her pediatrician to see about a cough medicine to maybe help with the coughing and stop the gagging.

But now the headache. Thats where my Hydrocephalus mommy instincts come in.. This past summer was unbelievable. If you missed it all well be glad you did. I would have been much better off if it had never happened and Michelle would have been too. Quick recap; 2 surgeries in May 24 hours apart (both shunt related), June 2 surgeries 8 days apart due to a severe infection that they almost missed, and in August she had another surgery that was shunt related. In case you missed that it was 5 shunt surgeries.

So thats where my momma bear instincts come back into play. Do I dare contact Neurosurgery and give them heads up again? Do I sit back and wait and see what is going to happen? Last time I did that we spent a night in ICU. I want to believe it is her cold causing all the problems. I really do. It's just that something (a little someone i guess you could say) is telling me to watch her insanely close.
