Valerie's had a 1 cm bump over her right eye for about 6 weeks now. I asked the pediatrician about it at her 2 month appointment and she referred us to Children's hospital to have her head examined (ha ha).
So Valerie had a CT today, was a piece of cake, they just swaddled her up and put her head in a soft holder and it was over in about 3 minutes. They had me hold a toy behind a protector so she'd stay staring forward.
The determination is that she has a dermoid cyst, which is soft tissue that should be removed, but they want to wait until she's 9-12 months because of anesthesia. It may get a little bigger by then, but that's it. They talked about making a small incision in the crease
